Biophysics

Connecting past, present, and future instrument development and use, this book explores biocalorimetry’s history, fundamentals, methodologies, and applications. Some of the most prominent calorimeter developers and users share invaluable personal accounts of discovery, discussing innovative techniqu..

This book explores a biomimetic approach for developing and improving photonic devices and structures. Leaders in the field discuss not only the mimicking of natural structures and solutions to engineering problems, but also the true understanding of natural processes and the application of these te..

Raising the standard for radiation biology textbooks, this graduate-level text offers an up-to-date analysis of molecular responses in the body induced by ionizing radiation. It presents an in-depth perspective on clinical applications for the treatment of cancer and radiation injuries. Based on a p..

Offers an analysis of molecular responses in the body induced by ionizing radiation. This book presents a perspective on clinical applications for the treatment of cancer and radiation injuries. It also clarifies the underlying mechanisms of radiation effects on signal transduction pathways...

"This book concerns one, simple question: What is life? If only the answer were as simple! In this book you will find a comprehensive discussion of the experimental and theoretical tools and techniques of biophysics which can be used to help us address that most innocuous of questions"--..

The unprecedented amount of data produced with high-throughput experimentation forces biologists to employ mathematical representation and computation to glean meaningful information in systems-level biology. Applying this approach to the underlying molecular mechanisms of tumorgenesis, cancer resea..

This book explores biological tissue patterns, such as the checkerboard pattern of light and dark cells in the Japanese quail oviduct, and interprets these patterns using models based, for example, on the forces that make raindrops spherical, enabling readers to understand why these patterns appear...

Activity in the nanodimensional active sites of large biological macromolecules greatly accelerates biological reactions. The chirality of the reactants also has a strong influence on the process, but its importance in such biological reactions has only recently begun to be understood. This book exp..

Drawn from the authors’ decade-long work in the cancer computational systems biology laboratory at Institut Curie, this self-contained guide explains how to apply computational systems biology approaches to cancer research. Suitable for readers in both computational and life sciences, the book provi..

Originating from protein stretching experiments, dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) allows for the extraction of detailed information on the unbinding process of biomolecular complexes. It is becoming progressively more important in biochemical studies and is finding wider applications in areas such a..
