The discussion of the biological functions of water details not only the stabilising effect of water in proteins and DNA, but also the direct role that water molecules themselves play in biochemical processes, such as enzyme kinetics, protein synthesis and drug-DNA interaction. The overview of the behaviour of water in chemical systems discusses hydrophilic, hydrophobic and amphiphilic effects, as well as the interactions of water with micelles, reverse micelles, microemulsions and carbon nanotubes. Supported by extensive experimental and computer simulation data, highlighting many of the recent advances in the study of water in complex systems, this is an ideal resource for anyone studying water at the molecular level. 410 0$aCambridge molecular science series. 517 3 $aWater in Biological & Chemical Processes 606 $aWater in the body 606 $aWater chemistry 615 0$aWater in the body. 615 0$aWater chemistry. 676 $a612/.01522 700 $aBagchi$b B$g(Biman),$01055762 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464263303321 996 $aWater in biological and chemical processes$92489401 997 $aUNINA
