Summary
KEY BENEFIT:Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciencespresents the core concepts of physical chemistry with mathematical rigor and conceptual clarity, and develops the modern biological applications alongside the physical principles. The traditional presentations of physical chemistry are augmented with material that makes these chemical ideas biologically relevant, applying physical principles to the understanding of the complex problems of 21st century biology.KEY TOPICS: Physical Chemistry, Biology.MARKET: For all readers interested in physical chemistry and biology.
