Complementary experimental tools : valuable experimental methods that complement mainstream research biophysics techniques -- ch. 8. Theoretical biophysics : computational biophysical tools, and methods that require a pencil and paper -- ch. 9. Emerging biophysics techniques : an outlook of the future landscape of biophysics tools.
"This book concerns one, simple question: What is life? If only the answer were as simple! In this book you will find a comprehensive discussion of the experimental and theoretical tools and techniques of biophysics which can be used to help us address that most innocuous of questions"--
