Reviews

'McCammon and Harvey's account is easily read and at the same time rewarding to those seeking deeper insight. With its comprehensive and well-balanced list of references, and its review of all the main developments, it will be an invaluable companion to those interested in the dynamics of biological macromolecules.' Nature 'This book will undoubtedly serve as a generally good introductory text for expert and non-expert alike.' Times Higher Education Supplement
