Electrochemical processes in biological systems

Electrochemical processes in biological systems / edited by Andrzej Lewenstam, Lo Gorton.

The first book to provdie a comprehensive look at bioenergetics, the energy flow in living systems, by studying ion exchange and electron transfer processes in biological membranes and artificial bio-films, and how these processes contribute to developing modern biosensor and ion-sensor technology,...
