The Physical Basis of Biochemistry: Solutions Manual to the Second Edition [Paperback]

advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level students and would be applied to courses focusing on three different areas:

Foundations of molecular biophysics
Macromolecular structure and assembly
Methods in physical biochemistry

The aim of this book is to ground students in the basic principles of biochemistry and molecular biophysics. It delves into developments in the area of genomics, and in turn, proteomics, bioinformatics, and computational and visualization technologies.

The Physical Basis of Biochemistry: Solutions Manual to the Second Edition offers solutions to the problem sets from the second edition of The Physical Basis of Biochemistry.The Physical Basis of Biochemistry, Second Edition, emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of biophysical chemistry by incorporating the quantitative perspective of the physical sciences without sacrificing the complexity and diversity of the biological systems, applies physical and chemical principles to the understanding of the biology of cells and explores the explosive developments in the area of genomics, and in turn, proteomics, bioinformatics, and computational and visualization technologies that have occurred in the past seven years. The book features problem sets and examples, clear illustrations, and extensive appendixes that provide additional information on related topics in mathematics, physics and chemistry. The answers to these problem sets can be found in The Physical Basis of Biochemistry: Solutions Manual to the Second Edition.PART I: Principles of Biophysical InquiryChapter 1Philosophy and Practice of Biophysical StudyChapter 2Overview of the Biological System Under Study  Descriptive ModelsChapter 3Physical Thoughts, Biological Systems - The application of modeling principles to understanding biological systemsChapter 4Probability and StatisticsPART II:FoundationsChapter 5Physical Principles: Energy - The Prime Obseló´
