商品描述

This textbook is for all students of the natural sciences who want to understand and apply physical concepts to better describe fundamental cellular processes. For example, the phenomena of diffusion as well as the mechanics of macromolecules and of the cell membrane are treated and illustrated with many examples. Furthermore, the formation of fibrous proteins of the cytoskeleton as well as enzyme kinetics and the functioning of molecular motors are discussed.

This compact book builds on a two-semester lecture entitled Biophysics in the Cell, given at the Technical University of Munich. To emphasize different approaches and thus make them more comprehensible, important formulas are often derived in different ways. "By the way" sections, highlighting historical or current backgrounds and the scientific zeitgeist of the respective research, enrich the material in an entertaining way. Attractive, clear and modern illustrations give the book a special charm in addition to the technically up-to-date andcomprehensibly presented content.

From the contents:

- Origin and structure of cells, basic concepts of biophysics and important basics of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

- Passive motion by diffusion: physical description of diffusion, lattice models, diffusion in a potential, biochemical reactions

- Mechanics of beams, polymers and membranes: elastic properties of biological components, forces, bending, stretching, stretching and rupture of the cell membrane and cytoskeleton.

- Active movement and enzyme kinetics: functioning of enzymes, molecular motors and the dynamics of fibre proteins in the cytoskeleton

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書適合所有自然科學的學生,旨在幫助他們理解並應用物理概念,以更好地描述基本的細胞過程。例如,擴散現象以及大分子和細胞膜的機械特性都會被探討並用許多例子來說明。此外,細胞骨架的纖維蛋白形成、酶動力學以及分子馬達的功能也會被討論。

這本精簡的書籍基於慕尼黑工業大學的兩學期講座《細胞中的生物物理學》。為了強調不同的方法並使其更易於理解,重要的公式經常以不同的方式推導出來。「順便提一下」的部分,突顯了各自研究的歷史或當前背景以及科學的時代精神,以有趣的方式豐富了材料。吸引人、清晰且現代的插圖為這本書增添了特殊的魅力,除了技術上最新且易於理解的內容外。

**內容摘要:**

- 細胞的起源和結構、生物物理學的基本概念以及熱力學和統計力學的重要基礎
- 透過擴散的被動運動:擴散的物理描述、晶格模型、潛能中的擴散、生化反應
- 梁、聚合物和膜的力學:生物組件的彈性特性、力、彎曲、拉伸、細胞膜和細胞骨架的拉伸與破裂
- 主動運動和酶動力學:酶的功能、分子馬達以及細胞骨架中纖維蛋白的動態

作者簡介


The authors

After studying physics at the LMU Munich, Thomas Bornschlögl completed his doctorate in the field of single-molecule force spectroscopy, where he investigated the mechanics of special protein structures, and subsequently researched the mechanics and dynamics of the cytoskeleton of cells at the Institut Curie in Paris. Since 2016, he has headed the microscopy department at L'Oréal's research facility in Paris.

Hendrik Dietz studied physics in Paderborn, Zaragoza (Spain) and at the LMU Munich. After receiving his PhD in biophysics on protein mechanics from TU Munich, he did research at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA and turned to creating artificial molecular structures. Since 2009, he has been Professor of Experimental Biophysics at TU Munich, where he specifically uses self-assembly and self-organization to develop new molecular nanodevices and molecular machines.
