In the first volume, Fundamental Concepts in Biophysics, the authors lay downa foundation for biophysics study. Rajiv Singh opens the book by pointing to the central importance of “Mathematical Methods in Biophysics”. William Fink follows with a discussion on “Quantum Mechanics Basic to Biophysical Methods”. Together, these two chapters establish some of the principles of mathematical physics underlying many biophysics techniques. Because computer modeling formsan intricate part of biophysics research, Subhadip Raychaudhuri and colleagues introduce the use of computer modeling in “Computational Modeling of Receptor–Ligand Bind-ing and Cellular Signaling Processes”. Yin Yeh and coworkers bring to the reader’s attention the physical basis underlying the common use of fluorescence spectroscopy in biomedical re-search in their chapter “luorescenceSpectroscopy”. INDICE: Mathematical Methods in Biophysics.- Quantum Mechanics Basic to Biophysical Methods.- Computational Modeling of Receptor–Ligand Binding and Cellular Signaling Processes.- Fluorescence Spectroscopy.- Electrophysiological Measurements of Membrane Proteins.- Single-Particle Tracking.- NMR Measurement of Biomolecule Diffusion.
