Description for Models of Life: Dynamics and Regulation in Biological Systems
hardcover. An overview of current models of biological systems, reflecting the major advances that have been made over the past decade. Num Pages: 350 pages, 25 b/w illus. 193 colour illus. 5 tables 165 exercises. BIC Classification: PSAK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 255 x 177 x 21. Weight in Grams: 868.
Reflecting the major advances that have been made in the field over the past decade, this book provides an overview of current models of biological systems. The focus is on simple quantitative models, highlighting their role in enhancing our understanding of the strategies of gene regulation and dynamics of information transfer along signalling pathways, as well as in unravelling the interplay between function and evolution. The chapters are self-contained, each describing key methods for studying the quantitative aspects of life through the use of physical models. They focus, in particular, on connecting the dynamics of proteins and DNA with strategic ... Read more

About Kim Sneppen
Kim Sneppen is Professor of Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute and Director of the interdisciplinary Center for Models of Life (CMOL) at Copenhagen University, Denmark. Drawing on experience across several academic disciplines, his work explores the frontier between complex dynamical systems and living systems, and in his role at CMOL he promotes hands-on development of quantitative models of central ...

Reviews for Models of Life: Dynamics and Regulation in Biological Systems
'Models of Life is an insight of a physicist into biological regulatory mechanisms. It provides a quantitative basis of how many of the biological systems work. Using simple logic and mathematics, Kim Sneppen, a world renowned scientist and thinker, has created a must-read for investigators in quantitative biology. The book provides a clear explanation of triumphant experiments in a lucid ... Read more
