Title: Molecular Biophysics: Structures in Motion by Michel Daune, W. J. Duffin, David Blow ISBN: 0-19-857782-6 Publisher: Oxford University Press Pub. Date: 15 April, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $62.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: It is a good book for a physicist to enter biophysics field.
Comment: The book almost covers all aspects in biophysics field. The description in text is very physical, and it is very suitful for researchers with physical background to enter biophysics field.
Due to its wide covering, the content of the book is not so valuable for a advanced biophysicist.
Rating: 4
Summary: BIOPOLYMERS A' LA CARTE
Comment: This is a very comprehensive book (about 500 pages!) dealing with the molecular physics of biopolymers. It is divided in five parts, namely (I.) Conformation of biopolymers, (II.) Dynamics of biopolymers, (III.) Hydration of biopolymers, (IV.) Biopolymers as polyelectrolytes, and (V.) Association between molecules, along with a 20-pages mathematical appendix. At the end of each part you will find a 1-page conclusion and 1-2 pages of references and material for further reading. Each referenced paper is provided with its full, original title, thereby simplifying the selection process. Important topics and/or proofs of mathematical formulae and models are given in dark boxes throughout the book. This facilitates both reading and learning. A note about figures. Graphs are clear and look good but the same cannot be said about most of the figures displaying molecular structures. This, perhaps, is due to the fact that several figures have been reprinted from the original papers. Also, the book does not contain colored figures. This, in general, is not a big problem exept when a calculated property such as the electrostatic potential is being depicted (see, for example Fig. 19.7 at p. 370). For this reason I rated this book with four stars only. In summary, Professor Daune has done a good job and his book could be well used in teaching an advanced course of molecular biophysics, perhaps complemented with Dr. Glaser's "Biophysics".
