Biophysics is a rapidly-evolving interdisciplinary science that applies theories and methods of the physical sciences to questions of biology. Biophysics encompasses many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, physiology, and neuroscience, and it is essential that scientists working in these varied fields are able to understand each other's research. Comprehensive Biophysics will help bridge that communication gap.
Written by a team of researchers at the forefront of their respective fields, under the guidance of Chief Editor Edward Egelman, Comprehensive Biophysics provides definitive introductions to a broad array of topics, uniting different areas of biophysics research - from the physical techniques for studying macromolecular structure to protein folding, muscle and molecular motors, cell biophysics, bioenergetics and more. The result is this comprehensive scientific resource - a valuable tool both for helping researchers come to grips quickly with material from related biophysics fields outside their areas of expertise, and for reinforcing their existing knowledge.

Unites the different areas of biophysical research and allows users to navigate through the most essential concepts with ease
Comprehensive Biophysics provides in-depth, broad, reference coverage of the most active areas within the field of Biophysics. Each of the 9 volumes that together make up this reference set covers a specific area within the field of Biophysics, and has been edited by a Volume Editor who is a prominent expert within the relevant subfield. To ensure the highest quality and consistency of style, the work has been overseen by Editor-in-Chief, Edward Egelman (University of Virginia, VA, USA).
In addition to traditional (i.e. molecular) biophysical topics like structural biology or enzyme kinetics, modern biophysics encompasses an extraordinarily broad range of research. It is becoming increasingly common for biophysicists to apply the models and experimental techniques derived from physics, as well as mathematics and statistics, to larger systems such as cells and tissues. This reference work encompasses a wealth of information which, through the use of carefully placed cross-referencing, enables the user to navigate through the content intuitively. Users who blanch at the thought of unfamiliar (information) territory, will be pleasantly surprised at how lucidly the topics are presented. This is an indispensible resource for students and professionals working in the field of biophysics or any of the many related fields of research.
