"Introduction to Molecular Biophysics builds the modern theoretical foundation needed to understand life processes from a physical point of view. The authors use a combination of biological information and physical models and theories to provide a rigorous description of biological structures. They offer a guided tour through the interlocking hierarchies of living systems, starting from the smallest building blocks of life and ending with a panoramic view of the evolving landscape of life and living forms. The book is richly illustrated and includes numerous examples, references, and experimental tools that make it valuable as both a reference work and textbook."--BOOK JACKET.
