Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text offers the most up-to-date look at the theory and techniques used in the study of the physical chemistry of biological and biochemical molecules. Ken van Holde is one of the leading experts in biophysical chemistry and a well-known author (he is co-author of an introductory biochemistry text).* Comprehensive coverage of all physical techniques currently used by practicing biochemists, including: * Up-to-date treatment of NMR. * Up-to-date treatment of X-ray diffraction. * Comprehensive coverage of other types of spectroscopy. * Clear writing by an experienced author team makes the subject matter understandable. * A true teaching text; includes exercises at the end of every chapter as well as solutions to half of the exercises.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
