Description for The Physics of Proteins. An Introduction to Biological Physics and Molecular Biophysics.
Hardback. With growing connections between physics and the life sciences, this text introduces the terminology and the biological systems physicists encounter. It sets out the dynamics of complex systems, and provides a problem-solving challenge from the literature. Editor(s): Chan, Shirley; Chan, Winnie. Series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering. Num Pages: 464 pages, 214 black & white illustrations, 7 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHVN; PSBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 248 x 166 x 34. Weight in Grams: 942.
Provides an introduction to the structure and function of biomolecules --- especially proteins --- and the physical tools used to investigate them
The discussion concentrates on physical tools and properties, emphasizing techniques that are contributing to new developments and avoiding those that are already well established and whose results have already been exploited fully
New tools appear regularly - synchrotron radiation, proton radiology, holography, optical tweezers, and muon radiography, for example, have all been used to open new areas of understanding

Reviews for The Physics of Proteins. An Introduction to Biological Physics and Molecular Biophysics.
From the reviews: “It appears to be written for advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics who are newcomers to biophysics and biochemistry. … The book builds from Frauenfelder’s sketches and hand-drawn diagrams, which impart to the volume a personal touch, to its major theme: Frauenfelder’s insight that protein structures undergo conformational transitions – proteinquakes – through sub-states of approximately ...
