Structural requirements constrain the evolution of biological entities at all levels, from macromolecules to their networks, right up to populations of biological organisms. Classical models of molecular evolution, however, are focused at the level of the symbols - the biological sequence - rather than that of their resulting structure. Now recent advances in understanding the thermodynamics of macromolecules, the topological properties of gene networks, the organization and mutation capabilities of genomes, and the structure of populations make it possible to incorporate these key elements into a broader and deeply interdisciplinary view of molecular evolution. This book gives an account of such a new approach, through clear tutorial contributions by leading scientists specializing in the different fields involved.

About the Author
Ugo Bastolla is researcher in the laboratory of bioinformatics of the
Centro de Astrobiologia in Madrid (Spain), on leave to the Centro de
Biologia Molecular of the Spanish CSIC. Since his degree in physics
with Luca Peliti he has always been interested in biological topics,
above all evolution. He got is PhD in Rome with Giorgio Parisi working
on disordered dynamical systems inspired to biology and was postdoc in
Julich (Germany) with Peter Grassberger, studying statistical mechanical
models of polymers, in Berlin (Germany) with E.W. Knapp studying simple
protein models, in Golm (Germany) with Michael Laessig, studying
ecological models, and finally in Madrid (Spain) in the bioinformatics
group of Alfonso Valencia. His main research interest consists in combining
simple models of protein thermodynamics and evolution.
Markus Porto is professor of Theoretical Solid State Physics at the
Institut fur Festkorperphysik at the Technische Universitat Darmstadt
(Germany). He received his PhD at the Universitat Giessen (Germany). His
research interests cover many aspects of solid state and statistical
physics, including transport and relaxation in disordered systems and
biophysics, as well as applying methods of statistical physics to model
molecular evolution.
H. Eduardo Roman is Research Fellow at the Department of Physics of the
University of Milan-Bicocca. He earned his Ph.D at the International School
for Advanced Studies, Trieste (Italy), and has been Privat Dozent at the
Universities of Hamburg and Giessen (Germany). His research interests cover
many aspects of Statistical Physics, from fractals to stochastic phenomena,
biophysics, proteins and evolution, and ab-initio electronic calculations in
molecules.
Michele Vendruscolo is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the
Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge. He received his PhD in
Condensed Matter Physics in 1996 at the International School for Advanced
Studies, Trieste (Italy). His research is mainly focussed on understanding
the biophysical principles regulating the behaviour and the evolution of
proteins.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
