The first comprehensive book to focus on the subject, Single Molecule Studies of Protein Folding deftly examines the two broad themes of the two principle single molecule methodologies used to study protein folding: force microscopy (AFM and optical / magnetic tweezers) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), which is widely used to "measure" dimensions either within or between molecules over distances of 10-100A. Featuring sections written by preeminent scientists in the field, the text includes theoretical and simulation chapters as well as experimental work.
