  • Handbook of Single-Molecule Biophysics

    Edited by Peter Hinterdorfer, Antoine van Oijen ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    During the last decade, a number of novel biophysical methods have been developed that allow the manipulation and study of individual biomolecules. The ability to monitor biological processes at the fundamental level of sensitivity, that of a single molecule, has given rise to an improved understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Through the removal of ensemble averaging, distributions ... Read more
