New Aspects of Biochemical Physics: Pure & Applied Science

This book presents recent research in chemical and biochemical physics. Chemical physics addresses a large range of problems. An effective chemical physicist is a jack-of-all-trades , able to apply the principles and techniques of the field to everything from high-tech materials to biology. Just as the fields of chemistry and physics have expanded, so have chemical physics subject areas, which include polymers, materials, surfaces/interfaces, and biological macromolecules, along with the traditional small molecule and condensed phase systems. Biochemical physics is a science that joins the three natural sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) into one comprehensive study. N M Emanuel pioneered this science over fifty years ago. This book brings together papers written by Emanuel’s students, which reveal recent developments in this interesting field.
