Title Nonlinear Excitations in Biomolecules : Les Houches School, May 30 to June 4, 1994 Author(s) Peyrard, Michel Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1995. Description XV, 427 p : online resource Abstract Note In the last few years, hopes have emerged that simple concepts could perhaps explain the extremely complicated biomolecular processes which are known to a greater and greater accuracy thanks to the extraordinary progress of biology. In parallel, powerful methods in physics, especially nonlinearity and cooperative effects, have been developed. They apply especially to biological phenomena and can explain coherent excitations with remarkable properties. This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the theory of nonlinear excitations and solitons in a biological environment, and also to the structure and function of biomolecules as well as energy and charge transport in biophysics ISBN,Price 9783662089941 Keyword(s) 1.
