Simulation and analysis of biochemical systems is at the heart of computational and systems biology. This textbook covers mathematical and computational approaches to biochemical systems based on rigorous physical principles. Written with an interdisciplinary audience in mind, this book shows the natural connection between established disciplines of chemistry and physics and the emerging field of systems biology, enabling the reader to take an informed approach to quantitative biochemical systems analysis.
Organized into three parts, introducing...
