Spectroscopy for the Biological Sciences
(This work is an introduction to the physical principles o...)
This work is an introduction to the physical principles of spectroscopy and their applications to the biological sciences. Advances in such fields as proteomics and genomics place new demands on students and professionals to be able to apply quantitative concepts to the biological phenomena that they are studying. "Spectroscopy for the Biological Sciences" provides students and professionals with a working knowledge of the physical chemical aspects of spectroscopy, along with their applications to important biological problems. Designed as a companion to Professor Hammes' "Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences", this approachable yet thorough text covers the basic principles of spectroscopy, including: fundamentals of spectroscopy; electronic spectra; circular dichroism and optical rotary dispersion; vibration in macromolecules (IR, Raman, etc.); magnetic resonance; X-ray crystallography; and, mass spectrometry. With a minimum of mathematics and a strong focus on applications to biology, this book will prepare current and future professionals to better understand the quantitative interpretation of biological phenomena and to utilize these tools in their work.

(Gain a working knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics w...)
Gain a working knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics with a minimum of mathematics-a guide for individuals in the biological sciences An understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics is essential for researchers investigating molecular phenomena in diverse disciplines, including bioorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biology. The use of these physical chemistry tools in the biological sciences has exploded over the past fifteen years, but the majority of works on thermodynamics and kinetics require mathematical expertise beyond that of many researchers in the field. Presenting a highly accessible introduction to thermodynamics and kinetics, Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences employs a minimum of mathematics, assuming only a basic calculus background, while treating a wide range of topics in a logical and easy-to-follow style. All principles and concepts are clearly illustrated through the use of relevant applications and examples from the biological sciences, and explanations are further enhanced with problems and up-to-date references. Written by a world-renowned authority on biochemical kinetics, this remarkable book also features an easy-to-understand statistical development of entropy and a more extensive coverage of chemical kinetics and ligand binding to macromolecules than is usually found in books of this kind. Readers will acquire a working knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics that they can readily apply to biological systems and use for exploring the scientific literature.

Edit Profile
Gordon HAMMES, American professor of chemistry and university vice-chancellor. Physiological Chemistry Study Section. Physical Biochemistry Study Section, Training Grant Committee, National Instituts of Health; Board of; National Research Council, United States National Commission, for biochemistry’ since 1989; American Chemistry Society, American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, N.A.S., American Academy, of Arts and Sciences.
Education
He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University in 1956 and his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1959.
Career
Hammes"s research involves the study of enzyme mechanisms and enzyme regulation. Hammes conducted postdoctoral research with Manfred Eigen at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Gottingen, Germany. He then secured a faculty position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before moving to Cornell University in 1965, where he was professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry.
He spent some time at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and joined the biochemistry faculty at Duke University in 1991.
He served as vice chancellor of academic affairs at the Duke University Medical Center from 1991 through 1998. Hammes was editor-in-chief of the American Chemical Society journal Biochemistry from 1992 until 2003, and president of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology starting in 1994.
The Gordon Hammes American College of Surgeons Biochemistry Lectureship was established in 2009 in order to honor significant contributions to the field of biochemistry. Scientific contributions Hammes"s research centered around enzyme mechanisms and enzyme regulation.
He has studied numerous enzymes including pyruvate dehydrogenase and fatty acid synthase.
He has written several books, including Chemical Kinetics. Principles and Selected Topics (1966), Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences (2000), and Spectroscopy for the Biological Sciences (2005). 1956 - McKay Prize in Chemistry.
