Reihe: Advances in Chemical Physics

Discover the experimental and theoretical developments inoptical single-molecule spectroscopy that are changing the ways wethink about molecules and atoms
The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides thechemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritativeevaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Thislatest volume explores the advent of optical single-moleculespectroscopy, and how atomic force microscopy has empowered novelexperiments on individual biomolecules, opening up new frontiers inmolecular and cell biology and leading to new theoreticalapproaches and insights. Organized into two parts--oneexperimental, the other theoretical--this volume exploresadvances across the field of single-molecule biophysics, presentingnew perspectives on the theoretical properties of atoms andmolecules. Single-molecule experiments have provided freshperspectives on questions such as how proteins fold to specificconformations from highly heterogeneous structures, how signaltransductions take place on the molecular level, and how proteinsbehave in membranes and living cells.This volume is designed tofurther contribute to the rapid development of single-moleculebiophysics research.
Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive mannernot found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of theAdvances in Chemical Physics series serves as the perfectsupplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study ofchemical physics.
