Structure and Dynamics of Confined Polymers: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Biological, Biophysical & Theoretical Aspects of Polymer Structure and Transport Bikal, Hungary 20-25 June 1999

Polymers are essential to biology because they can have enough stable degrees of freedom to store the molecular code of heredity and to express the sequences needed to manufacture new molecules. Through these they perform or control virtually every function in life. Although some biopolymers are created and spend their entire career in the relatively large free space inside cells or organelles, many biopolymers must migrate through a narrow passageway to get to their targeted destination.
