| Summary: | "Logically organized from small-scale to large-scale systems, this text provides comprehensive coverage of both molecular and cellular biophysics using a quantitative approach. It first discusses the characteristics of living things and the evolution of life. The book then covers small-scale structures that include DNA, RNA, and hydrogen bonds, followed by large-scale systems, such as basal bodies, mitochondria, and vesicles. The author also examines the biophysical processes of oxidative phosphorylation, diffusion, exciton energy transfer, and cell division. In addition, the text includes numerous worked examples, exercises, references, and illustrations."--Publisher description. |
