The Physics of Protein Structure and Dynamics 1st Edition
The Physics of Protein Structure and Dynamics, 1st Edition by Reinhard Schweitzer-Stenner is a rigorous yet accessible exploration of how physical principles govern the form and motion of proteins. Combining clear theory with real-world applications, this book illuminates the molecular forces, thermodynamics, and time‑scale–dependent motions that underpin folding, stability, and function.
Discover concise explanations of fundamental concepts—energy landscapes, secondary and tertiary structure formation, conformational ensembles—and modern approaches used to probe them, from spectroscopy to molecular simulation. Reinhard Schweitzer-Stenner’s lucid style bridges physics and biology, making complex mathematical ideas usable for experimentalists and computational scientists alike.
Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and instructors in biophysics, structural biology, biochemistry, and molecular modeling, this 1st Edition serves as both a textbook and a lab companion. Readers will gain practical insights into interpreting experimental data, designing simulations, and connecting microscopic dynamics to macroscopic behavior—skills directly applicable to protein engineering, drug design, and biomolecular research.
Packed with illustrative examples and thoughtful explanations, the book is a valuable reference for academic courses and laboratory groups across the globe—from university classrooms in North America and Europe to research centers in Asia and beyond. Whether you’re developing a foundation in protein folding or seeking a deeper, physics‑based perspective on biomolecular dynamics, Schweitzer-Stenner’s work delivers clarity and depth.
