1. Chemical Physics

   Electrons and Excitations

   By Sven Larsson

   A full understanding of modern chemistry is impossible without quantum theory. Since the advent of quantum mechanics in 1925, a number of chemical phenomena have been explained, such as electron transfer, excitation energy transfer, and other phenomena in photochemistry and photo-physics. Chemical...

3. Dynamic Force Spectroscopy and Biomolecular Recognition

   Edited by Anna Rita Bizzarri, Salvatore Cannistraro

   Molecular recognition, also known as biorecognition, is the heart of all biological interactions. Originating from protein stretching experiments, dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) allows for the extraction of detailed information on the unbinding process of biomolecular complexes. It is becoming...

8. Red Blood Cell Aggregation

   By Oguz Baskurt, Björn Neu, Herbert J. Meiselman

   Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology, similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux, these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying...

9. Introduction to Experimental Biophysics

   Biological Methods for Physical Scientists

   By Jay Nadeau

   Increasing numbers of physicists, chemists, and mathematicians are moving into biology, reading literature across disciplines, and mastering novel biochemical concepts. To succeed in this transition, researchers must understand on a practical level what is experimentally feasible. The number of...
