Tóm tắt

 Physical biology is a fusion of biology and physics. This book narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell
  exploring the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It looks at the microbe from a physics perspective, asking how the cell optimizes its function to live within the constraints of physics. It introduces a physical and information-based (as opposed to microbiological) perspective on communication and signalling between microbes.
