The study of dielectric properties of biological systems and their
components is important not only for fundamental scientific
knowledge but also for its applications in medicine, biology, and
biotechnology. The associated technique - known as dielectric
spectroscopy - has enabled researchers to quickly and accurately
acquire time- or frequency-spectra of permittivity and conductivity
and permitted the derivation and testing of realistic electrical
models for cells and organelles. This text covers the theoretical
basis and practical aspects of the study of dielectric properties
of biological systems, such as water, electrolyte and
polyelectrolytes, solutions of biological macromolecules, cells
suspensions and cellular systems. The authors' combined efforts
provide a comprehensive and cohesive book that takes advantage of
the expertise of multiple scientists involved in cutting-edge
research in the specific sub-fields of bio-dielectric spectroscopy
while maintaining its self-consistency through numerous
discussions. The first six chapters cover theoretical,
methodological and experimental aspects of relaxation and
dispersion in biological dielectrics at molecular, cellular and
cellular aggregate level. Applications are presented in the
following chapters which are organized in the order of increased
complexity, beginning with pure water, amino acids and proteins,
continuing with vesicles and simple cells such as erythrocytes, and
then with more complex, organelle-containing cells and cellular
aggregates. Due to its broad coverage, the text could be used as a
reference book by researchers, and as a textbook for upper-level
undergraduate classes and graduate classes in (bio) physics,
medical physics, quantitative biology, and engineering.
