Biophysics

Enes Akyuz (Author)

Release Date: 2024-01-29

Biophysics is one of the most difficult and complex fields of Basic Medical Sciences. Biophysics subjects can only be understood by knowing the basic knowledge of both Physics and Biology at a good level. Biophysics, which is quite chaotic for students at universities, becomes more understandable with a good literature review before the course. In this respect, the main purpose of the book is to be a basic resource in terms of Biophysics for all undergraduate and graduate students.

 Biophysics is defined not only by the merger of the fields of Physics and Biology, but also by the inclusion of departments such as Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science.
 One of the most commonly used methods in biophysics is the patch-clamp method, which measures ion channel currents, and X-ray crystallography, which is used to analyze the structure of proteins in detail.
 The description of the systems that make up the human body in the biophysical approach is possible with Physics quantities: nervous system biophysics, circulatory biophysics, respiratory biophysics and sensory biophysics.
 Units make it possible to understand Biophysics topics in terms of size. The units of each dimension from meters to nanometers and other Physics quantities such as pressure must also be known.
 The ion channel is the most valuable subject in Biophysics. These protein structures that allow ions to pass through the cell membrane can cause diseases in terms of their function. Loss of function requires the treatment of genes encoding ion channels.

      Great book. I bought it for myself to learn Biophysics because I really like physics and biology…

    2. Mehmet Tek

      The content of this book merits six stars.
