Introduction: Biophysics of biomolecular condensates

Biophysics: An Introduction

This instructional book is based on a course in biophysics taught by Rodney Cotterill at the Danish Technical Institute. Cotterrill begins by providing perspective to the burgeoning field of biophysics. The reader is then taken through the developments in physics that made it possible for physicists to contribute to biology. The author then proceeds to concepts of increasing complexity, from at...

Introduction. Biomolecular simulation.

'Everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jigglings and wigglings of atoms' as Richard Feynman provocatively stated nearly 50 years ago. But how can we 'see' this wiggling and jiggling and understand how it drives biology? Increasingly, computer simulations of biological macromolecules are helping to meet this challenge.

Introduction to biomolecular NMR spectroscopy

An Introduction to Biomolecular Graphics

One need only compare the number of three-dimensional molecular illustrations in the first (1990) and third (2004) editions of Voet & Voet’s Biochemistry in order to appreciate this field’s profound communicative value in modern biological sciences – ranging from medicine, physiology, and cell biology, to pharmaceutical chemistry and drug design, to structural and computational biology. The cli...

An Introduction to Biomolecular Simulations and Docking

The biomolecules in and around a living cell – proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates – continuously sample myriad conformational states that are thermally accessible at physiological temperatures. Simultaneously, a given biomolecule also samples (and is sampled by) a rapidly fluctuating local environment comprised of other biopolymers, small molecules, water, ions, etc. that diffuse to...
