Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
This book demonstrates the usefulness of tools from statistical mechanics for biology.
It includes the new tendencies in topics like membranes, vesicles, microtubules, molecular
motors, DNA, protein folding, phase transitions in biological systems, evolution,
population dynamics, neural systems and biological oscillators, with special emphasis
on the importance of statistical mechanics in their development. The book addresses
researchers and graduate students
