Physical principles in sensing and signaling : with an introduction to modeling in biology /

Show other versions (1)

Although invisible to the bare eye, bacterial cells are large enough to make complex decisions. Cells are composed of thousands of different molecular species including DNA, proteins, and smaller molecules, allowing them to sense their environment, to process this information, and to respond accordi...
