Biophysical Chemistry

Techniques and Applications

Beschreibung

The textbook is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, biology and medicine. It covers diverse topics of biophysical chemistry ranging from the structure of cells, lipids, and proteins to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, enzyme catalysis, and fast reaction kinetics. The book discusses the fundamental structural concepts in the first part and provides a systematic account of different experimental techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, and gel filtration that are extensively employed in biochemical research in the second part. It also includes typical applications using NMR, ESR, and SPR to comprehend the power of spectroscopic tools in biophysical chemistry. This textbook also deals with advanced topics of entropy production and biosensors. It consists of a large number of schematic diagrams as well as tabular compilations of kinetic, electrochemical, and thermochemical data. It includes multiple-choice questions, numerical examples,and descriptive questions in various chapters to aid self-learning among students. In view of the diverse coverage of topics, this textbook is a valuable asset to undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is also a useful reference for researchers and professionals in chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Autor

Dr. C Kalidas served as a faculty at the Department of Chemistry at IIT Madras, for more than three decades and was also an emeritus scientist (CSIR) at IIT Madras. He visited the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry (later Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry) Gottingen, Germany, as a German Academic Exchange scholar in 1968-69 and again as a senior fellow of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation during 1976-77 and 1990-91. His research interests are centered around electrochemistry, fast reaction kinetics, and macrocyclic chemistry. He was also an IUPAC committee member for analytical chemistry. He has taught a variety of chemistry courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at IIT Madras. Dr. M V Sangaranarayanan obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and was an Alexander von Humboldt fellow at the University of Bonn, Germany. He has been a faculty at the Department of Chemistry at IIT Madras from1993 onwards till date. His research interests include nonequilibrium thermodynamics, interfacial electrochemistry, and supercapacitors. He has published 125 papers in refereed international journals and co-authored three textbooks. He has taught diverse theory courses at IIT Madras, ranging from electrochemistry and statistical thermodynamics to analytical chemistry and biomolecules. He is the recipient of the Prof. C N R Rao National Prize for research in chemical sciences and was the president, Society for the Advancement of Electrochemical Science and Technology, India.
