With the generosity of Prof. Robert Schleif (Biology department, John Hopkins University), there is another book of him that can be accessed for free. The book " Genetics and Molecular Biology 2nd Ed " can be download from his website: http...

I used this book for my course on statistical mechanics. It is a very good introduction to statistical mechanics. The use of lattice model in explaining various topics made it easy for us to understand the underlying concepts. It starts with a simple...

Molecular driving forces: statistical thermodynamics in chemistry and biology by Ken A. Dill and Sarina Bromberg. Garland Science (Taylor & Francis Group), New York, 2003. 686 pp. $109 The book " Molecular driving forces : statistical thermodynamics...

Empirical physical models rely on parameters from experiments, and so induce various inaccuracies. However, a quantum mechanical model can offer independent data. Also, QM is able to predict everything theoretically. But QM has properties not easily addressed...

Proteins with many transitional conformations when changing from one conformation to another usually involve relative motions of domains. A good understanding of these movements will help the study of protein functions such as catalysis and regulations...

Main points: This paper concerns about the basics, as well as the capabilities and limitations of the intermolecular potential calculation. As a novice, I like the basic part better. Because the small molecules cases are easy to cope with, the author...
