Nonlinear Dynamics of Nanobiophysics

This book highlights important aspects of nonlinear dynamics of biophysical nanosystems, such as DNA, alpha helix, and microtubules. It presents the differences between the linear and nonlinear models in these molecules and includes interesting chapters on Soliton dynamics of the DNA molecule. This book is meant not only for researchers but also for both graduate and undergraduate students. Chapters include derivations, detailed explanations, and exercises for students. Therefore, the book is convenient to be used as a textbook in suitable courses.

Highlights important aspects of nonlinear dynamics of biophysical nanosystems- DNA, microtubes, and alpha helix Presents useful read for students and researchers in the field, with chapters containing exercises Includes computational methods in nonlinear nanobiophysics
