How can Information Theory
be connected to molecular biology?

  • Molecular biology involves the interactions of networks of molecules forming pathways to complete reactions useful for the survival of an organism

  • Each of these interactions can be thought of has sharing of information between two or molecules, or two or more parts of the same molecule

    • There exists a concept of mutual entropy in the interactions

    • The information entropy of individual molecules and systems can be used  to obtain distinguishing characteristics and key features.
