The new field of physical biology fuses biology and physics. New
technologies have allowed researchers to observe the inner workings
of the living cell, one cell at a time. With an abundance of new
data collected on individual cells, including observations of
individual molecules and their interactions, researchers are
developing a quantitative, physics-based understanding of life at
the molecular level. They are building detailed models of how cells
use molecular circuits to gather and process information, signal to
each other, manage noise and variability, and adapt to their
environment. This book narrows down the scope of physical biology
by focusing on the microbial cell. It explores the physical
phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the
cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It looks
at the microbe from a physics perspective, to ask how the cell
optimizes its function to live within the constraints of physics.
It introduces a physical and information based -- as opposed to
microbiological -- perspective on communication and signaling
between microbes. The book is aimed at non-expert scientists who
wish to understand some of the most important emerging themes of
physical biology, and to see how they help us to understand the
most basic forms of life.
