Models of Biological Tissue Electrostatics and Molecular Transport (Jim Sterling, KGI)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaIn this presentation, some fundamentals of electrostatics in biology will be discussed with focus on the fact that most biological macromolecules including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins are negatively-charged. Electroneutrality requires cations to move toward the macromolecules where they both screen and bind to the negatively-charged groups. An important class of mathematical models of species-flux […]
