Overview
- The discussion concentrates on physical tools and properties, emphasizing techniques that are contributing to new developments and avoiding those that are already well established and whose results have already been exploited fully
- New tools appear regularly – synchrotron radiation, proton radiology, holography, optical tweezers, and muon radiography, for example, have all been used to open new areas of understanding
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering (BIOMEDICAL)

Reviews
From the reviews:
“It appears to be written for advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics who are newcomers to biophysics and biochemistry. … The book builds from Frauenfelder’s sketches and hand-drawn diagrams, which impart to the volume a personal touch, to its major theme: Frauenfelder’s insight that protein structures undergo conformational transitions – proteinquakes – through sub-states of approximately equal energy in a rugged, multi-dimensional, conformational-energy landscape.” (H. Richard Leuchtag, Physics Today, May, 2011)Authors, Editors and Affiliations
