The aim is to promote an interdisciplinary exchange of scientific information and ideas, in order to stimulate cooperation in research. The scope of this volume explores the concepts and techniques of biophysics, and illustrates the latest advances in our understanding of many of the specific mechanisms that are used by living organisms. This volume represents a special effort to bring together the information that would allow a nonbiologically oriented physicist to appreciate the important role that physics plays in life sciences. Key Features: * An introduction to biophysics for non-specialist * Covers all the important topices in modern biophysics * Takes account of the latest information emerging from biophysical projects * Reports on novel therapeutic strategies * Presents an advanced-level overview of mechanisms that regulate a variety of processes in organisms ranging from bacterial to whalesBogdanov, Konstantin Yu is the author of 'Biology in Physics Is Life Matter?' with ISBN 9780121098407 and ISBN 0121098400.
