A "how-too" guide for the mathematical modeling of the biochemical processes inherent to life: the phases of cell growth, enzymes and their regulation, genes and genetic regulation, and signal transduction. This text book is intended as a fourth year or graduate studies text for coursework in biological engineering. Biological engineering is distinct from biochemical engineering in that the...

Biologically-produced materials present a more complex matrix of compounds than synthetically-produced compounds. Biological materials are also typically produced at lower concentrations and retain their biological activity within a narrow range of process conditions. This makes the separation and purification of biological materials more difficult than synthetic compounds. As much as 80% of...
