The central purpose of this book is to illustrate the premise that examination of the kinetics of biological processes can give valuable information concerning the underlying mechanisms that are responsible for these processes. Topics covered range from co-operativity in protein binding, through receptor-infector coupling, to theories of biochemical oscillations in yeast and slime mould. In addition, an introduction to the explosively growing theoretical topic of chaos details attempts to apply this theory in physiology. The material of this book originally appeared as part of the volume Mathematical Models in Molecular and Cellular Biology (edited by L. A. Segel). However each article has been revised and updated.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Fundamental concepts in biochemical reaction theory\u003cbr\u003e Equilibrium binding of macromolecules with ligands\u003cbr\u003e Allosteric and induced-fit theories of protein binding\u003cbr\u003e Positive and negative cooperativity\u003cbr\u003e Graphical representations for tetramer binding\u003cbr\u003e Enzyme induction\u003cbr\u003e Molecular models for receptor to adenylate cyclase coupling\u003cbr\u003e Models for oscillations and excitability in biochemical systems\u003cbr\u003e Control of neurotransmitter release: use of facilitation to analyze the regulation of intracellular calcium\u003cbr\u003e Acceptable and unacceptable models of liver regeneration in the rat\u003cbr\u003e Chaos\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematical modelling [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematical modelling\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematical%20modelling%20%5BPBWH%5D%22\"\u003ePBWH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006297985304,"sku":"9780521064095","price":41.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521064095i.jpg?v=1694969019","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/biological-kinetics-paperback-9780521064095","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
