Chemistry: Dictionaries & Encyclopedias

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 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.

Comprehensive Glycoscience, Second Edition assembles the top minds in this area who provide an update on the renowned 2007 first edition, including new discoveries and latest advances in glycoscience-related research areas such as glycan microarrays, carbohydrate materials, glycoengineering and microbiome research. The result is an up-to-date work which will impress readers with the many new advances that are outlined and taught in this second edition. Most areas of the original edition have been majorly updated, some overlapping topics have been consolidated, and several topics have been rearranged into more appropriate sections. Combines multiple aspects of glycoscience in one comprehensive and reliable reference work Includes all major developments since 2007 (e.g. nanotechnology) Places glycoscience at the crossroads of several disciplines, including biology, biochemistry, glycobiology and synthetic chemistry, thus offering a truly interdisciplinary perspective
