This full-colour undergraduate textbook, based on a two semester
course, presents the fundamentals of biological physics,
introducing essential modern topics that include cells, polymers,
polyelectrolytes, membranes, liquid crystals, phase transitions,
self-assembly, photonics, fluid mechanics, motility, chemical
kinetics, enzyme kinetics, systems biology, nerves, physiology, the
senses, and the brain. The comprehensive coverage, featuring
in-depth explanations of recent rapid developments, demonstrates
this to be one of the most diverse of modern scientific
disciplines. The Physics of Living Processes: A Mesoscopic Approach
is comprised of five principal sections: Building Blocks Soft
Condensed Matter Techniques in Biology Experimental Techniques
Systems Biology Spikes, Brains and the Senses The unique focus is
predominantly on the mesoscale structures on length scales between
those of atoms and the macroscopic behaviour of whole organisms.
The connections between molecules and their emergent biological
phenomena provide a novel integrated perspective on biological
physics, making this an important text across a variety of
scientific disciplines including biophysics, physics, physical
chemistry, chemical engineering and bioengineering. An extensive
set of worked tutorial questions are included, which will equip the
reader with a range of new physical tools to approach problems in
the life sciences from medicine, pharmaceutical science and
agriculture.
