商品簡介
Van der Maarel (biophysics, National University of Singapore) introduces the physics of biopolymers. The book covers the structure, dynamics, and properties of biopolymers subjected to various forms of confinement, with special attention paid to the effect of change and electrostatic screening. By focusing on the development of physical intuition rather than mathematical rigor, the book prepares readers to address complicated, real issues in the life sciences or related fields, such as material or food sciences. B&w and a few color illustrations are included. The book is designed to serve as a bridge between undergraduate textbooks in physical (bio)chemistry and the professional literature, and is especially suitable for advanced students and professionals who have already acquired basic knowledge of physics, thermodynamics, and molecular biology.
