Encyclopedia of Biophysics2013
A resource intended for both biophysicists and other readers who are approaching biophysics from either a physical or biological background. It includes entries describing both Techniques and Systems. Techniques covered range from diffraction (X-ray, electron and neutron) through a wide range of spectroscopic methods (X-ray, optical, EPR, NMR) to imaging (from electron microscopy to live cell imaging and MRI), as well as computational and simulation approaches. In the Systems entries, biophysical approaches to specific biological systems or problems– from protein and nucleic acid structure to membranes, ion channels and receptors –are described.
