Description
This book is about biophysics and it is meant for beginners. It starts with explaining the basics of molecular cell biology and then goes on to discuss statistical physics. It then moves on to in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. The book is unique in that it offers a general introduction to biophysics, but restricts itself to processes that occur inside the cell nucleus. This makes it an accessible read for beginners, while also providing a springboard for specialists who wish to continue their study in more detail.
Biophysics is a new way of looking at living matter. It uses quantitative experimental and theoretical methods to open a new window for studying and understanding life processes. This textbook gives compact introductions to the basics of the field, including molecular cell biology and statistical physics. It then presents in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, progressing to state-of-the-art experiments and their theoretical interpretations. The book is unique by offering a general introduction to biophysics, yet at the same time restricting itself to processes that occur inside the cell nucleus and that involve biopolymers (DNA, RNA, and proteins). This allows for an accessible read for beginners and a springboard for specialists who wish to continue their study in more detail.
