Description for Water in Biological and Chemical Processes: From Structure and Dynamics to Function
hardcover. A unified overview of the dynamical properties of water and its unique and diverse role in biological and chemical processes. Series: Cambridge Molecular Science. Num Pages: 374 pages, 127 b/w illus. 9 colour illus. 5 tables. BIC Classification: PNK; PSD; PSP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 252 x 172 x 22. Weight in Grams: 908.
Building up from microscopic basics to observed complex functions, this insightful monograph explains and describes how the unique molecular properties of water give rise to its structural and dynamical behaviour which in turn translates into its role in biological and chemical processes. The discussion of the biological functions of water details not only the stabilising effect of water in proteins and DNA, but also the direct role that water molecules themselves play in biochemical processes, such as enzyme kinetics, protein synthesis and drug-DNA interaction. The overview of the behaviour of water in chemical systems discusses hydrophilic, hydrophobic and amphiphilic effects, ... Read more
