Description:
This fascinating book illuminates the nature of giant molecules; it explains what giant molecules are, how they are formed, where they are applied, and why they are important in everyday life and science. Among other important applications, giant molecules are widely used in the chemical, electronic, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in clinical medicine. They are the basis for many "biological machines," from those that recognize viruses and bacteria in our bodies to those that fire our muscles and enable our eyes to see and ears to hear; in short, much of what makes us living things!
