Biocalorimetry

Foundations and Contemporary Approaches

Herausgeber: Bastos, Margarida

Beschreibung

Connecting past, present, and future instrument development and use, this book explores biocalorimetry's history, fundamentals, methodologies, and applications. Some of the most prominent calorimeter developers and users share invaluable personal accounts of discovery, discussing innovative techniques as well as special and original applications. Wide in scope, the book also covers calorimetry use on membranes, nucleic acids, and proteins and addresses both thermodynamics and kinetics.

Autor

Margarida Bastos is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Porto, where she leads the biocalorimetry research group. She is a reviewer for many international journals and is involved with European community evaluation of research projects and international mobility grants. Having calorimetry as her main expertise, she has also been using other biophysical techniques, such as small angle x-ray diffraction (SAXD), neutron scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, microscopy (SEM, TEM, and confocal), to study antimicrobial peptide/membrane interactions, polymer/surfactant mixtures, hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, and hydration of biopolymers. She earned a PhD in thermochemistry from Lund University.
