This book also contains original contributions to de novo protein structure prediction and multi-objective optimization techniques applied to protein tertiary structure prediction. DNA evolutionary issues, stem cell biology, dynamics of biologic membranes, reaction�diffusion mechanisms, population dynamics, and bioeconomics are covered and discussed throughout this book.
