| Summary: | The Molecular Switch articulates a biophysical perspective on signaling, showing how allostery--a powerful explanation of how molecules function across all biological domains--can be reformulated using equilibrium statistical mechanics, applied to diverse biological systems exhibiting switching behaviors, and successfully unify seemingly unrelated phenomena. Rob Phillips weaves together allostery and statistical mechanics via a series of biological vignettes, each of which showcases an important biological question and accompanying physical analysis. |
