Description
Book SynopsisThis book takes a comprehensive look at bioenergetics, the energy flow in living systems, discussing ion exchange and electron transfer processes in biological membranes and artificial bio-films, and how these processes contribute to developing modern biosensor and ion-sensor technology, as well as biofuel cells.
