“Twenty
independent research groups share their experience in unraveling various
aspects of living system through a multidisciplinary approach using
biophysics along with biochemistry and molecular biology. Their topics
include biomolecules in reverse micelles, deciphering ionic interactions in
peptides and proteins, the bioelectrochemisry of immobilized enzymes, sex
and drug ATPases in fungi, the photophysics and photochemistry of
cytochromec oxidase, and applying biophysical correlates to the neural
regulation of some physiological phenomena. Color illustrations are
scattered throughout.”
