Sir Francis Crick would undoubtedly be at the front of the line ordering this fascinating book. Being one of the discoverers of DNA, he would be amazed at how his work has been applied to mankind's most important invention, the computer. DNA contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of cellular life forms or viruses. DNA computing uses DNA as a substrate for storing information, while molecular biological operations are used to manipulate this information.DNA Computing Models begins with a comprehensive introduction to the field of DNA computing. This book emphasizes computational methods to tackle central problems of DNA computing, such as controlling living cells, building patterns, and generating nanomachines. DNA Computing Models presents laboratory-scale human-operated models of computation, including a description of the first experiment of DNA computation conducted by Adleman in 1994. It provides molecular-scale autonomous models of computation and addresses the design of computational devices working in living cells. It also addresses the important problem of proper word design for DNA computing.DNA Computing Models is designed for researchers and advanced-level students in computers science, bioengineering and molecular biology as a reference or secondary text book. This book is also suitable for practitioners in industry.

Protein informatics is a newer name for an already existing discipline. It encompasses the techniques used in bioinformatics and molecular modelling that are related to proteins. While bioinformatics is mainly concerned with the collection, organization, and analysis of biological data, molecular modelling is devoted to representation and manipulation of the structure of proteins. Protein informatics requires substantial prerequisites on computer science, mathematics, and molecular biology. The approach chosen here, allows a direct and rapid grasp on the subject starting from basic knowledge of algorithm design, calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory. This text provides the reader a comprehensive introduction to the field of protein informatics. The text emphasizes mathematical and computational methods to tackle the central problems of alignment, phylogenetic reconstruction, and prediction and sampling of protein structure.

Eine Einführung in die Theorie der linearen Codes, in der zyklische Codes besonders ausführlich behandelt werden. Großer Wert wird auch auf computerunterstützte Methoden gelegt, insbesondere für die Bestimmung der Minimaldistanz linearer Codes, für die Abzählung der Isometrieklassen linearer Codes sowie Blockcodes und für die Erzeugung von Repräsentantensystemen dieser Klassen.Das Buch wendet sich an Studenten und Wissenschaftler der Informatik, Mathematik und Elektrotechnik sowie an Fachleute in der Praxis.

Neben zentralen Instrumenten der Berechenbarkeit, wie etwa der Gödelisierung von berechenbaren Funktionen und der Existenz universeller berechenbarer Funktionen, stehen unentscheidbare Probleme im Fokus, wie etwa das Halteproblem sowie das Wortproblem für die Term-Ersetzung.

Im Zentrum dieses essentials steht der gefeierte Abzählsatz von Pólya. Darauf aufbauend kann anhand der Operation der jeweiligen Symmetriegruppe auf den gefärbten Figuren die Anzahl der verschiedenen Muster ermittelt werden.
