Microcalorimetry of Macromolecules: The Physical Basis of Biological Structures

This is the first textbook on the microcalorimetry of biological molecules. The coverage starts from the basics of thermodynamics (which are unknown for many scientists working in biology), describes evolution of the calorimetric technique, explains how to analyze the calorimetric data, and illustrates these methods with a wide selection of examples. The book provides an essential resource to scientists studying biological molecular structures and the reactions between these structures.

Nyckelord: Biochemistry (Chemical Biology), microcalorimetric techniques, Isothermal titration, scanning microcalorimetry, calorimetric experiments, calorimetric data analysis, calorimetric studies, energetic ground of proteins, energetic ground of nucleic acids, energetic ground of amino acids, protein chemistry, molecular chemistry, biological molecular structures, molecular biology, biophysics, biochemistry
