Methods in Molecular Biophysics: Structure, Dynamics, Function for Biology and Medicine van Nathan R. Zaccai, Igor N. Serdyuk and Joseph Zaccai is an English-language study book about physical methods in the life sciences. The book focuses on the application of physical techniques in biology and medicine and is suitable for professionals and research specialists.
This reference work addresses current physical methods used to analyze biological macromolecules and their interactions. The content reflects recent developments in bioscience research, including a new section on medical imaging. Key techniques such as mass spectrometry, hydrodynamics, microscopy, diffraction, spectroscopy, electron microscopy, molecular dynamics simulations, and nuclear magnetic resonance are explained in depth using practical examples.
The book provides clear explanations, suitable for both physicists and biologists, and supports students and researchers in understanding the physical principles behind biological functions. As such, it is an indispensable source for anyone working on functional analysis and medical applications of biophysical methods.
Topics connect with physiology, life sciences, biophysics, and general medicine.
