Femtosecond Photobiology

Providing an overview of current research, Femtosecond Photobiology elucidates fundamental molecular dynamics in biological systems. A thorough introduction to the relevant physical and chemical processes common to all systems provides the necessary framework and practical tools for understanding the various topics. The book also explores the techniques currently employed in studies of ultrafast dynamics. In addition, the authors reveal how ultrafast dynamics of elementary chemical and physical processes are related to the function of molecular systems of biological interest. In cases where atomic structure is available, a particularly detailed understanding of function and reaction mechanisms may be obtained. See more
