What We Are Reading Today: ‘Random Walks in Biology'
Author: HOWARD C. BERG
'Random Walks in Biology' provides a lucid, straightforward introduction to the concepts and techniques of statistical physics that students of biology, biochemistry, and biophysics must know.
Howard Berg offers an essential foundation for understanding random motions of molecules, subcellular particles, and cells as well as the processes that are affected by such motions.
Using the concept of 'random walks' of individual particles, Berg illuminates the physics involved in diffusion, sedimentation, electrophoresis, chromatography, and cell motility.
