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.
