ComplexityVolume 10, Issue 1 p. 14-16 The Simply Complex Chemical reaction kinetics is back: Attempts to deal with complexity in biology: Developing a quantitative molecular view to understanding life Peter Schuster, Corresponding Author Peter Schuster [email protected] Institüt für Theoretische Chemie und Moleculare Strukturbiologie der Universität Wien, Waeringerstraße 17, A-1090 Wien, Austria Peter Schuster is Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Vienna University. His publications, about 300 papers and nine books, deal with the analysis and prediction of molecular structures from small molecules to biopolymers and the dynamics of evolutionary processes. The books include “The Hydrogen Bond”, three collective volumes together with Georg Zundel and Camille Sandorfy; “The Hypercycle—A Principle of Natural Self-Organization” together with Manfred Eigen; and “Evolutionary Dynamics—Exploring the Interplay of Selection, Accident, Neutrality, and Function”, a collective volume together with James P. Crutchfield. His recent research focuses on optimization of RNA structures as a model for molecular evolution and the role of selectively neutral variants.Institüt für Theoretische Chemie und Moleculare Strukturbiologie der Universität Wien, Waeringerstraße 17, A-1090 Wien, AustriaSearch for more papers by this author Peter Schuster, Corresponding Author Peter Schuster [email protected] Institüt für Theoretische Chemie und Moleculare Strukturbiologie der Universität Wien, Waeringerstraße 17, A-1090 Wien, Austria Peter Schuster is Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Vienna University.
