Informationen zum Autor I love children of all ages, and love reading to children. It is such a joy watching them grow, not only physically, but socially and mentally as well. I have worked many years with children and have loved every minute. I am always amazed how fast they learn, and I love being a part of that learning process. I have worked in the classroom and in many summer camps for kids and teens, helping them build confidence and self-esteem to conquer their tasks. I have kids of my own that I have encouraged to succeed and be independent. I love seeing everyone succeed, especially in their courage, certainty, and self-esteem.I love sailing, photography, hiking, camping, scuba diving, motorcycle riding, and spending time with family. If it involves water, outdoors or family, then chances are I love it. Klappentext An der Schnittstelle von Biologie und Chemie widmet sich die Biochemie der Struktur und Funktion von Biomolekülen - mit zunehmender Bedeutung in der akademischen und kommerziellen Forschung. Dieses Werk eröffnet Studierenden ein Verständnis ihrer grundlegenden Prinzipien. Zusammenfassung Chemical Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Biomolecules addresses recent developments in the field and builds on the foundations laid by introductory physical chemistry courses.
