This web site is a support site for the new text from Springer-Verlag.
The text begins by slowly building up to basic compartmental models
of cells. It covers ion channels, transporters, chemical interactions,
and shows how to integrate them into a full model of the cell.
With this done, the book then progress to more specialized topics
such as spatial modeling, cell to cell communication, and molecular
motors.
