Biophysical Chemistry
About this book
Biophysical Chemistry explores the concepts of physical chemistry and molecular structure that underlie biochemical processes. Ideally suited for undergradate students and scientists with backgrounds in physics, chemistry or biology, it is also equally accessible to students and scientists in related fields as the book concisely describes the fundamental aspects of biophysical chemistry, and puts them into a biochemical context.
The book is organized in four parts, covering thermodynamics, kinetics, molecular structure and stability, and biophysical methods. Cross-references within and between these parts emphasize common themes and highlight recurrent principles. End of chapter problems illustrate the main points explored and their relevance for biochemistry, enabling students to apply their knowledge and to transfer it to laboratory projects.
Features:
-
- Connects principles of physical chemistry to biochemistry
-
- Emphasizes the role of organic reactions as tools for modification and manipulation of biomolecules
-
- Includes a comprehensive section on the theory of modern biophysical methods and their applications

Part
I
Thermodynamics
T
he
field
of
thermodynamics
(gr.
thermos
:
heat,
dynamis
:
force)
is
centered
around
energy
in
all
forms.
It
refers
to
the
analysis
of
the
available
energy,
the
distribution
of
energy,
and
the
con-
version
of
energy
from
one
form
into
the
other.
ermodynamic
considerations
are
invaluable
for
the
understanding
of
the
importance
of
energy
in
biological
systems,
its
storage
and
availability,
and
the
energetic
costs
involved
in
maintaining
cellular
functions
and
stability.
e
thermodynamic
framework
is
based
on
four
laws,
simple
rules
that
have
been
derived
empirically
from
observing
the
real
world.
ese
laws
and
concepts
allow
a
quantitative
description
of
complex
biological
systems,
and
enable
us
to
understand
and,
more
importantly,
to
predict
their
behavior
in
specific
circum-
stances.
Before
we
begin
to
construct
the
building
of
thermodynamics,
however,
we
will
have
to
start
with
a
set
of
definitions.
