The molecular processes include conformational stability, fluctuation, relaxation, self-organization, molecular recognition, and chemical reactions. In all those processes, so-called solvation free-energy, and its first and second derivatives with respect to the atomic coordinates of biomolecules play key roles. Such derivatives of the free energy may not be calculated by any method of molecular simulation, because the calculation requires an analytical formula of the solvation free energy as a function of the atomic coordinates of a biomolecule. In this book, the theory is applied to analyze phenomena closely related to the conformational and density fluctuation of biomolecular systems, including the entropy and spectroscopy of both biomolecules and solvents. The theory is further developed to give microscopic expressions to the well-regarded phenomenological theories of chemical reactions, including the Michaelis?Menten theory of the enzymatic reaction, and the theory of the electron-transfer reaction by R. Marcus. Also clarified in the book is physical basis of Anfinsen?s hypothesis concerning the protein folding. This book is beneficial for graduate students and researchers in the field of life science and technology, especially for those studying pharmaceutical design and biomimetic technology such as artificial enzymes. 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aPhysical biochemistry 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomolecules 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aEnzymology 606 $aTheoretical Chemistry 606 $aBiophysical Chemistry 606 $aMolecular Biophysics 606 $aBiophysical Methods 606 $aEnzymology 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 0$aPhysical biochemistry. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiomolecules. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 0$aEnzymology. 615 14$aTheoretical Chemistry. 615 24$aBiophysical Chemistry. 615 24$aMolecular Biophysics. 615 24$aBiophysical Methods. 615 24$aEnzymology. 676 $a541.2 700 $aHirata$b Fumio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01817225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910999677703321 996 $aMolecular Theory of Fluctuation in Life Phenomena$94374779 997 $aUNINA
