Résumé
Photonics of biopolymers discusses the processes of energy transformation in photoexcited proteins, nucleic acids, membranes and model systems. The author employs his considerable experience to deliver a thorough explanation of the physical background of the optical techniques for studying biological systems, and he identifies problems and experimental pitfalls that prevent accurate measurements and interpretation. He not only describes the spectroscopic methods, he uses his own experimental results to extract information from the data and critically evaluates the competing models used to interpret the results.
