Abstract:
Erwin Schrödinger's 'What is Life?' is one of the most influential books
of the last century in the biological sciences.
It continues to provoke discussions and stimulate interdisciplinary developments
in biophysics.
Starting with reflections on Schrödinger's famous account of negative entropy
in living systems, an international group of scientists presents the latest
advancements on the dynamics and control of metabolic processes.
This volume of Modern Trends in BioThermoKinetics develops for the first time
the explicit link between thermodynamics, metabolic control, bioenergetics
and clinical applications.
