This textbook is for all students of the natural sciences interested in the physical concepts describing fundamental cellular processes. For example, the phenomena of diffusion and the mechanics of macromolecules and the cell membrane are treated and illustrated with many examples. Furthermore, the formation of the 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 entitledBiophysics in the Cell,given at the Technical University of Munich. To emphasize different approaches and...
