Extract

Nonlinear dynamics of biopolymers is a new and rapidly developing field of biophysical science. It can be considered as a part of the general dynamics which deals with the internal mobility of biopolymers. Theoreticians define it also as the next (anharmonic or nonlinear) approximation after the first harmonic or linear one.
