Biophysics, being an interdisciplinary topic, is of great
importance in modern biology. This book addresses the needs of
biologists, biochemists, and medical biophysicists for an
introduction to the subject. The text is based on a one-semester
course offered to graduate students of life sciences, and covers a
wide range of topics from quantum mechanics to pre-biotic
evolution. To understand the topics, only basic school level
mathematics is required.
The first chapter introduces and refreshes the reader's
knowledge of physics and chemistry. The next chapters cover various
physico-chemical techniques used to study biomolecular structures,
followed by treatments of spectroscopy, microscopy, diffraction,
and computational techniques.
X-ray crystallography and NMR are dealt with in greater detail.
The latter half of the book covers results obtained from
applications of the above techniques. Some of the other topics
dealt with are energy pathways, biomechanics, and
neuro-biophysics.
