Biological Systems under Extreme Conditions Structure and Function

Biological Systems under Extreme Conditions Structure and Function / edited by Y. Taniguchi, H.E. Stanley, H. Ludwig.

Biological systems are regulated by the thermodynamic parameters of pressure and temperature. With the help of new spectroscopic methods it is now possible to study the structure and function of such systems under extreme pressures and temperatures. This book described the resulting theory and appli...
