Description:

Discover the experimental and theoretical developments in
optical single-molecule spectroscopy that are changing the ways we
think about molecules and atoms


The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the
chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative
evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. This
latest volume explores the advent of optical single-molecule
spectroscopy, and how atomic force microscopy has empowered novel
experiments on individual biomolecules, opening up new frontiers in
molecular and cell biology and leading to new theoretical
approaches and insights. Organized into two parts?one
experimental, the other theoretical?this volume explores
advances across the field of single-molecule biophysics, presenting
new perspectives on the theoretical properties of atoms and
molecules. Single-molecule experiments have provided fresh
perspectives on questions such as how proteins fold to specific
conformations from highly heterogeneous structures, how signal
transductions take place on the molecular level, and how proteins
behave in membranes and living cells.This volume is designed to
further contribute to the rapid development of single-molecule
biophysics research.


Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner
not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the
Advances in Chemical Physics series serves as the perfect
supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of
chemical physics.
