The contents of this book focus on the recent investigations in
molecular bi-
ogywhereapplicationsoftopologyseemtobeverystimulating. Thevolumeis
based on the talks and lectures given by participants of the
three-month p-
gram"TopologyinCondensedMatter,"whichwasheldintheMaxPlanck- stitut
fur Physik komplexer Systeme, Dresden, Germany, 8May-31July 2002,
under the scienti?c direction of Professors M. Kl eman, S. Novikov
and - self. The aim of this program was to discuss recent
applications of topology to several areas in condensed matter
physics and molecular biology. The ?rst volume "Topology in
Condensed Matter" is concerned with m- ern applications of
geometrical and topological techniques to such new and classic
?elds of physics like electron theory of metals, theory of
nano-crystals, aperiodic and liquid crystals, quantum computation
and so on. This volume is published simultaneously in "Springer
Series in Solid-State Physics." The present volume gives an
exposition of the role of topology in the theory of proteins and
DNA. The last thirty years a?rmed very e?cient - plications of
modern mathematics, especially topology, in physics. The union of
mathematics and physics was very stimulating for both sides. On the
other hand, the impact of mathematics in biology has been rather
limited. H- ever here also some interesting results were obtained.
In particular, there are applications of knot theory in the theory
of circular closed DNA. The - cent discoveries in molecular biology
indicate future successful applications of topology."
