Solvent-Induced Interactions and Forces in Protein Folding Hydrophobic-Hydrophilic Phenomena /

This monograph presents the molecular theory and necessary tools for the study of solvent-induced interactions and forces. After introducing the reader to the basic definitions of solvent-induced interactions, the author provides a brief analysis of the statistical thermodynamics. The book thoroughl...
