Molecular Biophysics: Structures in Motion

This new textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the molecular physics of biological systems: it seeks to explain how the laws and concepts of physics apply to the living world at the molecular and subcellular level, with an emphasis on electrical and dynamical behaviour.

The book is organized into five parts:
* conformation of biopolymers
* dynamics of biopolymers
* hydration of biopolymers
* biopolymers as polyelectrolytes
*association between molecules
The author adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and limits mathematics only to what is strictly necessary for the development of the subject. The text should be suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds in biology, physics or chemistry taking advanced courses in molecular biophysics or
biophysical chemistry.
