Fondly known as _x001C_Baby Chang,_x001D_ this best-selling text is ack in an updated second edition for the one-semester physical chemistry course. Carefully crafted to match the needs and interests of students majoring in the life sciences, Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences has been revised to provide students with a sophisticated appreciation for physical chemistry as the basis for a variety of interesting biological phenomena. Major changes to the new edition include:-Discussion of intermolecular forces in chapter-Detailed discussion of protein and nucleic acid structure, providing students with the background needed to fully understand the biological applications of thermodynamics and kinetics described later in the book-Expanded and updated descriptions of biological examples, such as protein misfolding diseases, photosynthesis, and vision
