In the first volume, Fundamental Concepts in Biophysics, the
authors lay down a foundation for biophysics study. Rajiv Singh
opens the book by pointing to the central importance of
“Mathematical Methods in Biophysics”. William Fink follows with
a discussion on “Quantum Mechanics Basic to Biophysical
Methods”. Together, these two chapters establish some of the
principles of mathematical physics underlying many biophysics
techniques. Because computer modeling forms an intricate part of
biophysics research, Subhadip Raychaudhuri and colleagues introduce
the use of computer modeling in “Computational Modeling of
Receptor–Ligand Binding and Cellular Signaling Processes”. Yin
Yeh and coworkers bring to the reader’s attention the physical
basis underlying the common use of fluorescence spectroscopy in
biomedical research in their chapter “Fluorescence
Spectroscopy”. Electrophysiologists have also applied biophysics
techniques in the study of membrane proteins, and Tsung-Yu Chen et
al. explore stochastic processes of ion transport in their
“Electrophysiological Measurements of Membrane Proteins”.
Michael Saxton takes up a key biophysics question about particle
distribution and behavior in systems with spatial or temporal
inhomogeneity in his chapter “Single–Particle Tracking”.
Finally, in “NMR Measurement of Biomolecule Diffusion”, Thomas
Jue explains how magnetic resonance techniques can map biomolecule
diffusion in the cell to a theory of respiratory control. This book
thus launches the Handbook of Modern Biophysics series and sets up
for the reader some of the fundamental concepts underpinning the
biophysics issues to be presented in future volumes.
