| Summary: | "This book reveals how single molecule techniques have revolutionized our understanding of biology at the nanoscale - and it is the first book to be focused on the biology, rather than the techniques themselves. As such, it is targeted at biologists and a broad interdisciplinary readership. Each chapter in this multicontributed book is written by an expert in the field, covering a key biological system studied by single molecule methods, and exploring what has been learnt from this new approach. Systems examined include molecular motors (kinesin, dynein, myosin, and the bacterial flagellar motor); nucleic acids (chromatin, DNA-based enzymes, and the ribosome); membranes and ion channels; and a look at applications to microarray technology."--BOOK JACKET.
