Tools developed by statistical
physicists are of increasing importance in the analysis of complex biological systems. Physics in Molecular Biology discusses how physics can be used in modeling life. It begins by summarizing important biological concepts, emphasizing how they differ from the systems normally studied in physics. A variety of topics, ranging from the properties of single molecules to the dynamics of macro-evolution, are studied in terms of simple
mathematical models. The main focus of the book is on genes and proteins and how they build systems that compute and respond. The discussion develops from simple to
complex systems, and from small-scale to large-scale phenomena. This…
In recent years physicists have been developing a series of statistical tools that help them to understand how large groups of things operate. Even more recently some of these same techniques have…
