The structural mechanics of proteins that fold into functional
shapes, polymers that aggregate and form clusters, and organic
macromolecules that bind to inorganic matter can only be understood
through statistical physics and thermodynamics. This book reviews
the statistical mechanics concepts and tools necessary for the
study of structure formation processes in macromolecular systems
that are essentially influenced by finite-size and surface effects.
Readers are introduced to molecular modeling approaches, advanced
Monte Carlo simulation techniques, and systematic statistical
analyses of numerical data. Applications to folding, aggregation,
and substrate adsorption processes of polymers and proteins are
discussed in great detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the
reduction of complexity by coarse-grained modeling, which allows
for the efficient, systematic investigation of structural phases
and transitions. Providing insight into modern research at this
interface between physics, chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology,
this book is an excellent reference for graduate students and
researchers.
