A random walk in biological physics, motivated by statistical physics, and organized according to:
I. Sequence | nucleic acids in DNA/RNA; amino-acids in proteins, shaped by mutations and fixation [population genetics] | information |
II. Structure | DNA double helix; RNA secondary form; protein folding [Polymer physics] | interaction |
III. Function | building blocks of force and motion: membranes, tubules, motors, ... [non-equilibrium methods] | cooperation |
IV. Emergence | networks: modules, patterns, collective dynamics, ... [emergent phenomena] | complexity |
