Synopsis

Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules is a well balanced, critically comparative review of recent progress in the field of biomolecular structure, bonding, and dynamics, based on applications of the full range of spectroscopic methods. Included are infrared, Raman, NMR, CD, MCD, X-ray absorption and diffraction, optical absorption and fluorescence, molecular graphics simulations and other theoretical methods. It is currently an exciting time to be involved in research into this subject and in the book special emphasis has been given to currently `hot' topics such as protein folding, biomolecular interactions and dynamics, supramolecular organization, and ultrafast photobiological processes. With contributions from both established world authorities and younger 'up-coming' scientists, Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules illustrates much that can now be achieved by skilled practitioners using the powerful spectroscopic 'tools of the trade' and should inspire others to similar and yet greater achievements.
