The Physical Basis of Biochemistry is a rigorous, imaginative textbook that applies physical and chemical principles to the understanding of the biology of cells. The book features problem sets and examples, clear illustrations, and extensive appendixes that provide additional information on related topics in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Based on years of the author's experience teaching the subject, The Physical Basis of Biochemistry is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in physical biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, and physical chemistry with applications in the life sciences. Mixing practical applications with a consistent theoretical paradigm of modeling biological systems, the book will be welcomed by instructors seeking a text that combines a quantitative approach with a uniform biological perspective.

Biophysical Chemistry: Molecules to Membranes is a one-semester textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students. Developed over several years of teaching, the approach differs from that of other texts by emphasizing thermodynamics of aqueous solutions, by rigorously treating electrostatics and irreversible phenomena, and by applying these principles to topics of biochemistry and biophysics. The main sections are: (1) Basic principles of equilibrium thermodynamics. (2) Structure and behavior of solutions of ions and molecules. The discussions range from properties of bulk water to the solvent structure of solutions of small molecules and macromolecules. (3) Physical principles are extended for the non-homogenous and non-equilibrium nature of biological processes. Areas included are lipid/water systems, transport phenomena, membranes, and bio-electrochemistry. This new textbook will provide an essential foundation for research in cellular physiology, biochemistry, membrane biology, as well as the derived areas bioengineering, pharmacology, nephrology, and many others.

The aim of this book is to ground students in the basic principles of biochemistry and molecular biophysics. It delves into developments in the area of genomics, and in turn, proteomics, bioinformatics, and computational and visualization technologies.
