Water in biological and chemical processes : from structure and dynamics to function /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

Building up from microscopic basics to observed complex functions, this insightful monograph explains and describes how the unique molecular properties of water give rise to its structural and dynamical behaviour which in turn translates into its role in biological and chemical processes. The discus...
