This book introduces an approach to protein folding from the point
of view of kinetic theory. There is an abundance of data on protein
folding, but few proposals are available on the mechanism driving
the process. Here, presented for the first time, are suggestion on
possible research directions, as developed by the author in
collaboration with C. C. Lin. The first half of this invaluable
book contains a concise but relatively complete review of relevant
topics in statistical mechanics and kinetic theory. It includes
standard topics such as thermodynamics, the Maxwell-Boltzmann
distribution, and ensemble theory. Special discussions include the
dynamics of phase transitions, and Brownian motion as an
illustration of stochastic processes. The second half develops
topics in molecular biology and protein structure, with a view to
discovering mechanisms underlying protein folding. Attention is
focused on the energy flow through the protein in its folded state.
A mathematical model, based on the Brownian motion of coupled
harmonic oscillators, is worked out in the appendix.
