Energetics of Biological Macromolecules, Part C (Volume 323) (Methods in Enzymology, Volume 323)

Volume 323 of Methods in Enzymology is dedicated to the energetics of biological macromolecules. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying a biological process requires detailed knowledge of the structural relationships within the system and an equally detailed understanding of the energetic driving forces that control the structural interactions. This volume presents modern thermodynamic techniques currently being utilized to study the energetic driving forces in biological systems. It will be a useful reference source and textbook for scientists and students whose goal is to understand the energetic relationships between macromoleculer structures and biological functions. This volume supplements Volumes 259 and Volume 295 of Methods in Enzymology.

Praise for the Series
"The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard." (Neuroscience)

"Incomparably useful." (Analytical Biochemistry)

"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents..." (Bio/Technology)

"...It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection." (Chemistry in Industry)

"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation..." (American Society of Microbiology News)

"...the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be [the] multivolume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work." (Enzymologia)

"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists." (Journal of Chromatography)
