Biological Specificity and Cooperativity

Description:

Lecture notes on cell-surface interactions, biological specificity and cooperativity, adsorption of ligands on most biomaterials surfaces as a random process, non-interacting sites, adsorption on interacting sites, cooperative processes, the unit cell process, a model of a critical transition from noncooperative to cooperative cell behavior, and use of matrix algebra to decompose Z.
