Biophysics is the science of physical principles underlying all processes of life, including the dynamics and kinetics of biological systems. This fully revised 2nd English edition is an introductory text that spans all steps of biological organization, from the molecular, to the organism level, as well as influences of environmental factors. In response to the enormous progress recently made, especially in theoretical and molecular biophysics, the author has updated the text, integrating new results and developments concerning protein folding and dynamics, molecular aspects of membrane assembly and transport, noise-enhanced processes, and photo-biophysics. The advances made in theoretical biology in the last decade call for a fully new conception of the corresponding sections. Thus, the book provides the background needed for fundamental training in biophysics and, in addition, offers a great deal of advanced biophysicalknowledge. New edition extensively revised and updated. Integrates classical approaches and new concepts. With numerous color figures. Ideally suited for biology and biochemistry students seeking a well-founded biophysical basis. INDICE: Nature and Subject of Biophysics. Molecular Structure of Biological Systems. Energetics and Dynamics of Biological Systems. Physical Factors of the Environment. The Kinetics of Biological Systems.
