Opis

This comprehensive, up-to-date volume presents state-of-the-art computational strategies for studying energy redistribution, signaling, and heat transport in proteins and other molecular machines, including nanoscale and biomolecular systems. It emphasizes the interrelations between these disparate approaches that have contributed to our understanding of energy flow in proteins and its role in protein function. By defining the forefront of research in this area, the book delineates the current challenges and opportunities in developing novel methods and applications for the evolving study of energy flow in molecular machines and nanomaterials.
