About

Combining with the two other volumes, Biophysical Chemistry: Part III: The Behavior of Biological Macromolecules is the third book in the definitive series on the physical properties of biological macromolecules and the physical techniques used to study them. Ideal for a broad spectrum of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses the text also serves as a comprehensive reference for researchers.
