Laser Light Scattering in Biochemistry. (Based on Papers Presented at a UK Biomechanical Society Meeting. University of Cambridge, 13-15. September 1990). Ed. by S. E. Harding, D. B. Sattelle, V. A. Bloomfield. (Publ. By) Royal Soc. of Chemistry

Based on lectures given at a UK Biochemical Society Meeting held at Cambridge U., September 1990, this volume covers the state of the art in both classical (or `total intensity') and dynamic (or `quasielastic') light scattering. Part one addresses recent contributions of light scattering techniques to biomolecular science. Part 2 deals with specific applications to systems of biological macromolecules, from proteins and glycopolymers to nucleic acids. Part 3 deals with the application of light scattering techniques to the study of large biomolecular assemblies, including membrane systems, whole micro-organisms and other cellular systems, and finally it addresses polymer systems for drug delivery.
