Descripción
Fundamentals of Molecular Structural Biology, Second Edition reviews the mathematical and physical foundations of molecular structural biology, covering the latest advancements. The book begins with historical perspectives before exploring mathematical concepts, physical aspects of chemistry, the chemical basis of biology, structural analysis, visualization, protein folding, transcription, RNA processing, cell signaling, and computational molecular biology. Additionally, this new edition delves into AI fundamentals and applications, including AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold. This fully updated edition provides a detailed overview of the fundamental concepts across molecular structural biology and acts as an ideal guide for researchers and advanced students.
Given the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of this subject, this book provides early career researchers and those shifting into an adjacent field a "fundamentals" resource to get them up-to-speed on the foundations of a particular field.

Subrata Pal
Subrata Pal obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, both in physics, from Calcutta University. Subsequently, he pursued his predoctoral research in molecular biology and received a PhD degree from the same university in 1982. He carried out his postdoctoral research in DNA replication and gene expression at two of the premiere institutions in the USA: the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland and Harvard Medical School, Boston Massachusetts. At Harvard, he received a Claudia Adams Barr special investigator award for basic contribution to cancer research. Professor Pal has a long teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels – the areas of his teaching include physics, molecular biology and genomics.
