Publisher Synopsis
"The authors did superbly in combining the biophysical processes and corresponding mathematics... This book serves both as a primer and a reference for constructing synthetic biological circuits with special focus on biomolecular feedback. It nicely bridges the gap between fields with a concise biological introduction, and approachable mathematics."--Harold Bien and Gabor Balazsi, Quarterly Review of Biology "This book promises much for the reader with a background in both biochemistry and mathematics. Such a reader will not only learn how to analyse models for bioengineered bimolecular systems but they will have the insights to both build these systems and to 'tune' the biochemistry to obtain desired parameter values."--Mark Nelson, Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society Read more...
