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

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.
