Opis

Written and designed to be a supplement to more detailed texts, this book gives greater emphasis to bioenergetic principles and less detail on the molecular structure of particular systems. It is written to form the basis for a bioenergetics second year teaching module which could be taken by any student in the molecular life sciences
