Biophysics book for a physicist

Question

I read Phillips et al Physical biology of the cell. Though I enjoyed it, I felt it was too slow and light on the mathematical side. Since I studied physics, I would like to see a book more geared towards physicists, that are comfortable with the required mathematics, and know some biology (but not a lot).

Can anyone suggest a title like this?

Answer 1

I recommend Bill Bialek's "Biophysics: Searching for Principles." It's not as broadly informative as Phillip et al.'s book, but it's certainly higher level, designed as a graduate textbook. A few other comments I wrote a while ago are here.
