"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 bio-electrochemisry 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."
