C. P. Lee (EDT) Current Topics in Bioenergetics

Annotation

Current Topics in Bioenergetics, Volume 13 presents the biophysical and biochemical approaches that are valuable in some systems and that may be readily be applied to others. This book discusses the function and structure relationship of energy-transducing membranes that has played an essential role in the progress and development in the field of bioenergetics. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the bioenergetics processes that require a molecular description of the structure and reaction mechanisms of the individual energy-transducing catalysts. This text then provides an understanding to the methodology for initiation of an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation in this field of research. This book discusses as well the developments in spin label EPR techniques. The final chapter deals with immunological techniques that are used for studying the biochemistry and molecular biology of membrane proteins. This book is a valuable resource for physiologists, biologists, and biochemists.
