Synopsis

A true understanding of genetic and metabolic function and design is facilitated by mathematical and computational methods for analyzing biochemical systems. This hands-on reference teaches biochemists and molecular biologists the use of modern computational methods for the analysis of complex biomedical systems requiring a modest mathematical background. The book begins with representations of biochemical systems, provides guidelines for setting up models, details mathematical and computational methods of parameter estimation and model analysis, and connects to the modern literature with four detailed case studies. Every step is illustrated with examples and explored with accompanying PLAS software. The volume also features over 250 exercises with about one quarter fully or partially solved.

About this title

Book Description

A true understanding of genetic and metabolic function and design crucially depends on mathematical and computational methods for analyzing biochemical systems. This book teaches biochemists and molecular biologists in a hands-on fashion the use of modern computational methods for the analysis of complex biomedical systems; a modest mathematical background will suffice. The book begins with representations of biochemical systems, provides guidelines for setting up models, discusses in detail mathematical and computational methods of parameter estimation and model analysis, and ultimately connects to the modern literature with four detailed case studies. Every step is illustrated with examples and explored with accompanying software.

Review

"I found the introduction to this book absolutely fascinating...I enjoyed this book enormously. Having had to learn all this stuff on my own, I was happy to see it all (and more!) outlined in a single source. This book is unique in many ways...I highly recommend the book to scientists interested in dynamics/kinetics of complex systems." Journal of Food Biochemistry
