Bøker i Foundations of Biochemistry and Biophysics-serien

This book introduces the concepts and practical tools necessary to understand the behavior of biological macromolecules at a quantitative level, going beyond theory to explain in detail how the equations are applied to the analysis of experimental measurements. An emphasis on real-world applications is a continued throughout the book.

Biomolecular kinetics concerns the measurement and analysis of reaction phenomena as a function of time. This book explains the methods used for measuring how much a reaction gets speeded up, as well as the framework for solving problems such as ligand binding and macromolecular folding.

This textbook covers the physical properties of nucleic acid underlying the biological functions of DNA and RNA. It looks at the variety of nucleic acid structures observed in nature, thermodynamic and energetic principles that govern the formation and behavior of those structures, and the ways proteins recognize and manipulate nucleic acids.

This book introduces the physical, chemical, and biological principles underlying photosynthesis. It addresses the underlying physics of light harvesting and key spectroscopic methods, including data analysis, and covers the assembly of the natural system, its energy transfer properties, and regulatory mechanisms.

This book provides readers an engaging introduction to the science behind beer, wine, and spirits. It illustrates not only the chemical principles that underlie what alcoholic beverages are, why they are the way they are and what they contain, but also frames them within the context of historical and societal developments.
