Release Notes

Modern materials science and biophysics are increasingly focused on studying and
controlling intermolecular interactions on the single-molecule level. Molecular
force spectroscopy was developed in the past decade as the result of several
unprecedented advances in the capabilities of modern scientific instrumentation,
and defines a number of techniques that use mechanical force measurements to
study interactions between single molecules and molecular assemblies in chemical
and biological systems. Examples of these techniques, which typically target a
specific range of experimental systems and geometries, include atomic force
microscopy, optical tweezers, surface forces apparatus, and magnetic tweezers.

With contributions by internationally renowned scientists, Handbook of Molecular
Force Spectroscopy is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of modern force
spectroscopy, including fundamentals of intermolecular forces, technical aspects
of the force measurements, and practical applications. The Handbook presents
reviews of fundamental physical concepts of loading single and multiple chemical
bonds on the nanometer scale, covers practical aspects of modern single-molecule
level techniques, and describes several representative applications of force
spectroscopy to the study of chemical and biological processes. Computer
modeling of force spectroscopy experiments is addressed as well. In sum, this
volume is an authoritative guide to planning, understanding, and analyzing
modern molecular force spectroscopy experiments with an emphasis on biophysical
research.
