For example, the phenomena of diffusion as well as the mechanics of macromolecules and of the cell membrane are treated and illustrated with many examples. Furthermore, the formation of fibrous proteins of the cytoskeleton as well as enzyme kinetics and the functioning of molecular motors are discussed. This compact book builds on a two-semester lecture entitled Biophysics in the Cell, given at the Technical University of Munich. To emphasize different approaches and thus make them more comprehensible, important formulas are often derived in different ways. "By the way" sections, highlighting historical or current backgrounds and the scientific zeitgeist of the respective research, enrich the material in an entertaining way. Attractive, clear and modern illustrations give the book a special charm in addition to the technically up-to-date and comprehensibly presented content. The authors After studying physics at the LMU Munich, Thomas Bornschlögl completed his doctorate in the field of single-molecule force spectroscopy, where he investigated the mechanics of cellular protein structures, and subsequently researched the mechanics and dynamics of the cytoskeleton at the Institut Curie in Paris. Since 2016, he has headed the microscopy department at L'Oréal's research facility in Paris. Hendrik Dietz studied physics in Paderborn, Zaragoza (Spain) and at the LMU Munich. After receiving his PhD in biophysics on protein mechanics from Technical University of Munich, he did research at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA and turned to creating artificial molecular structures. Since 2009, he has been Professor of Experimental Biophysics at Technical University of Munich, where he specifically uses self-assembly and self-organization to develop new molecular nanodevices and molecular machines. This book is a translation of an original German edition.
