Feedback Control in Systems Biology (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Filling the need for a text on control theory for systems biologists, this self-contained, easy-to-follow book explains how feedback control concepts can be applied to systems biology. Each chapter introduces key topics and case studies that explore applications in cellular and molecular biology. The authors cover tools and techniques for the analysis of linear and nonlinear systems, negative and positive feedback, robustness analysis methods, techniques for the reverse-engineering of biological interaction networks, and the analysis of stochastic biological control systems. A valuable reference, this text offers a sound starting point for scientists entering this fascinating and rapidly developing field.
