"Biophysical Chemistry is an outstanding book that deliversboth fundamental and complex biophysical principles, along with anexcellent overview of the current biophysical research areas, in amanner that makes it accessible for mathematically andnon-mathematically inclined readers." (Journal of ChemicalBiology, February 2009)

This text presents physical chemistry through the use ofbiological and biochemical topics, examples and applications tobiochemistry. It lays out the necessary calculus in a step by stepfashion for students who are less mathematically inclined, leadingthem through fundamental concepts, such as a quantum mechanicaldescription of the hydrogen atom rather than simply statingoutcomes. Techniques are presented with an emphasis on learning byanalyzing real data.
