| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This book presents the fundamentals of molecular biophysics, and highlights the connection between molecules and biological phenomena, making it an important text across a variety of science disciplines. The topics covered in the book include: phase transitions that occur in biosystems (protein crystallisation, globule coil transition etc); liquid crystallinity as an example of the delicate range of partially ordered phases found with biological molecules; How molecules move and propel themselves at the cellular level? the general features of self assembly with examples from proteins; and, the phase behaviour of DNA. The physical toolbox presented within this text will form a basis for students to enter into a wide range of pure and applied bioengineering fields in medical, food and pharmaceutical areas. |
