Reihe: The Wiley Series on Electrocatalysis and Electrochemistry

The first book to provdie a comprehensive look at bioenergetics,the energy flow in living systems, by studying ionexchange and electron transfer processes in biologicalmembranes and artificial bio-films, and how these processescontribute to developing modern biosensor and ion-sensortechnology, as well as biofuel cells.
The book:
* Discusses the ion fluxes and electron transfer processes inbiological membranes and artificial bio-films
* Provides an in-depth description of the processes at theinterface between the membrane/film and substrate electrode
* Is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive look at howthese processes are understood in biology of living cells
* Addresses how these processes contribute todeveloping modern biosensor and ion-sensor technology, as well asbiofuel cells
