Free Energy Transduction and Biochemical Cycle Kinetics

by Terrell L. Hill

Overview

This three-part treatment translates the technical language of research monographs on the theory of free energy transfer in biology, making the subject more accessible to those entering the field. Designed for upper-level classes in biochemistry or biophysics, it can also be used for independent study. 36 figures. 1989 edition.
