Kluwer Academic Publishers 2002, - 341 p. - The recent advances in
the field of Biotechnology cannot simply be ascribed to one
scientific discipline. Rather, scientists from various backgrounds,
ranging from fundamental physics and chemistry to the (bio) applied
sciences, have joined their efforts in order to make this new era
of "high-tech" biotechnology possible. In the present volume of
"Focus on Biotechnology", a selected group of distinguished experts
describe how their field succeeded in developing the new frontiers
of biotechnology. The physical or chemical underlying principles
form the core of each chapter, which ends with a sketch of
anticipated developments during the next decade. Audience: Any
self-respecting scientist who aims to implement his work within the
framework of practical applications will find "Focus on
Biotechnology - Physics and Chemistry basis Biotechnology" a
must-have volume.
