Structure and Physics of Viruses: An Integrated Guide (Subcellular Biochemistry Book 105) 2nd Edition
Deepen your understanding of the fascinating world of viruses with the comprehensive Structure and Physics of Viruses: An Integrated Guide (Subcellular Biochemistry Book 105) 2nd Edition, now available at Books Hub PK. Part of the prestigious Subcellular Biochemistry series, this volume delivers an in-depth exploration of how physical principles and structural biology intersect to shape our knowledge of viruses — from their architecture to their dynamic behavior.
Now in its updated 2nd Edition, this trusted resource brings together contributions from leading virologists, structural biologists, and biophysicists, offering a well-rounded guide for students, researchers, and professionals working in virology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biomedical sciences.
The book covers essential topics including the fundamental structural components of viruses, assembly pathways, genome packaging, and the physical forces that govern virus stability and infectivity. It also explains modern techniques used to study viral structures at the atomic and molecular levels, including cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and advanced imaging and modeling methods.
What sets this volume apart is its integrated approach — linking core structural biology with biophysical principles to help readers understand not just what viruses look like, but how they function and adapt. Chapters also highlight how these insights inform the development of antiviral strategies, vaccines, and nanotechnology applications.
This second edition reflects the latest research in virus physics and structure, including new case studies on emerging viruses and updates on cutting-edge imaging technologies. Detailed illustrations, high-resolution structural diagrams, and clear explanations make complex topics accessible for advanced students and early-career researchers.
