Calculating the Secrets of Life: Applications of the Mathematical Sciences in Molecular Biology - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Examining how mathematical research and methods can contribute to important discoveries in biology, this National Research Council report explores how differential geometry, topology, and differential mechanics have allowed researchers to "wind" and "unwind" DNA's double helix to understand the phenomenon of supercoiling. It explores how mathematical tools are illuminating the workings of enzymes and proteins, and describes how mathematicians are researching the origin, structure, and function of life by applying stochastic and statistical theory to the study of DNA sequences.
