Title: 8.592 Statistical Physics in Biology, Spring 2003
Author: Kardar, Mehran; Mirny, Leonid A.
Issue Date: 2003-06
Abstract: A survey of problems at the interface of statistical physics and modern biology: Bioinformatic methods for extracting information content of DNA; gene finding, sequence comparison, phylogenetic trees. Physical interactions responsible for structure of biopolymers; DNA double helix, secondary structure of RNA, elements of protein folding. Considerations of force, motion, and packaging; protein motors, membranes. Collective behavior of biological elements; cellular networks, neural networks, and evolution.
