Description
Book SynopsisContains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Topology of Biopolymers, held April 2018, at Northeastern University. The papers cover recent results on the topology and geometry of DNA and protein knotting using techniques from knot theory, spatial graph theory, differential geometry, molecular simulations, and laboratory experimentation.
