Biological systems under extreme conditions: structure and function.

Author(s) : TANIGUCHI Y., STANLEY H. E., LUDWIG H.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

Biological systems are regulated by the thermodynamic parameters of pressure and temperature. The book, which is part of the "Biological and medical physics series" describes the resulting theory and applications of these pressure and temperature effects. Extract from the table of contents: liquid water at low temperature; Ab Initio theoretical study of water; the behaviour of proteins under extreme conditions (thermal expansion and volume-entropy fluctuations; thermodynamic properties); high-pressure NMR spectroscopy of proteins (cold, heat, and pressure unfolding of ribonuclease A; pressure-assisted, cold-denatured lysozyme structure).
