The behaviour of those macromolecules and molecular assemblies that have
vital roles in all living organisms is grounded in physical chemistry.
Physical principles determine the stability of proteins and nucleic
acids, the rate at which biochemical reactions proceed, the transport of
molecules across biological molecules; they allow us to describe
structure and reactivity in complex biological systems, and make sense
of how these systems operate. Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences
fills a void in the textbook market by offering a balanced presentation
of the concepts of physical chemistry,
and their extensive applications to biology and biochemistry. It is written to straddle the worlds of physical chemistry and the life sciences and to show students how the tools of physical chemistry can elucidate and illuminate biological questions. Opening with a suite of chapters on Biochemical Thermodynamics, with a focus on energy conversion in biological cells and the factors that stabilize proteins, nucleic acids, and cell membranes, the book goes on to explore the Kinetics of Life Processes, examining the rates of chemical reactions, how rates can help characterise the mechanism of a reaction, and how enzymes affect reaction rates.
