Book Description

ISBN-10: 0471932965 | ISBN-13: 978-0471932963 | Publication Date: March 9, 1992 | Edition: 1

Details some of the many ways in which electronic and ionic charges are transferred and distributed in biological systems. Covers essential life-sustaining processes including enzyme catalysis, ion transport and osmotic effects, biological communication systems, and energy conservation reactions that rely on gross or subtle changes in charge configuration on and around biological molecules. Provides enough introductory material to serve as a useful prologue for nonspecialists--thus those with a background in biochemistry will be introduced to key physical concepts and vice-versa.

Rajiv Dutta (Stillwater, OK, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bioelectronics (Biotechnology) (Hardcover)

Bioelectronics is the newer area of development and research. The book, which gives the first hand knowledge of fundamentals of the area and discuss about the various opportunities available in the area of study are always welcome.

This book will fulfil the gap of basic knowledge in the subject area.It will meet the expectation of the learned readers in the area.
