Description
Molecular Dynamics in Biosystems: The Kinetics of Tracers in Intact Organisms focuses on the measurement of the transport and turnover of molecules in an intact biological organism, emphasizing the kinetics of tracers, which is the primary tool used for such studies.
Organized into seven chapters, the book begins by elucidating the relationship between tracer and tracee. The text then tackles the biokinetics of distributed systems; the theory of multicompartment systems; and the rates of appearance of tracee in both steady and nonsteady state systems. Lastly, this book explains the study of blood flow and the tracers utilized that are called indicators.
This material forms part of a course on biokinetics offered by the University of Toronto. It will serve both as a text to students and as a reference for those engaged in research.
