| Opplysninger | Qualitative methods for studying dynamic models of biological processes -- Types of dynamic behavior of biological systems -- Kinetics of enzyme processes -- Self-organization processes in distributed biological systems -- Thermodynamics of irreversible processes in biological systems near equilibrium (linear thermodynamics) -- Thermodynamics of systems far from equilibrium (nonlinear thermodynamics) -- Three-dimensional configurations of polymer molecules -- Different types of interactions in macromolecules -- Conformational energy and three-dimensional structure of biopolymers -- Protein dynamics -- Physical models of dynamic mobility of proteins -- Molecular organization of biological membranes -- Conformational properties of membranes -- Nonelectrolyte transport -- Ion transport. ionic equilibria -- Electrodiffusion theory of ion transport across membranes -- Induced ion transport -- Ion transport in channels -- Ion transport in excitable membranes -- Active transport -- Electron transport and energy transformation in biomembranes -- Physics of muscle contraction, actin-myosin molecular motor -- Biophysics of processes of intracellular signaling -- Fundamentals of quantum description of molecules -- Mechanisms of charge transfer and energy migration in biomolecular structures -- Mechanisms of enzyme catalysis -- Energy transformation in primary processes of photosynthesis -- Electron-conformational interactions in primary processes of photosynthesis -- Photo-conversions of bacteriorhodopsin and rhodopsin -- Photoregulatory and photodestructive processes.. - "Following up on his first book, Fundementals of Biophysics, the author, a well-known scientist in this area, builds on that foundation by offering the biologist or scientist an advanced, comprehensive coverage of biophysics. Structuring the book into four major parts, he thoroughly covers the biophysics of complex systems, such as the kinetics and thermodynamic processes of biological systems, in the first part. The second part is dedicated to molecular biophysics, such as biopolymers and proteins, and the third part is on the biophysics of membrane processes. The final part is on photobiological processes. This ambitious work is a must-have for the veteran biologist, scientist, or chemist working in this field, and for the novice or student, who is interested in learning about biophysics. It is an emerging field, becoming increasingly more important, the more we learn about and develop the science."
