Physics 2, 36 (2009) – Published May 4, 2009 Statistical Mechanics Biological Physics Faster does not mean more precise—a new view of how proteins diffuse and bind to a specific site on the DNA reassesses the role noise plays in the biochemical production line that creates biomolecules from genes. |

Physics 1, 32 (2008) – Published October 27, 2008 Genome replication originates at random places along the DNA strand, yet replication of the genetic material finishes within a defined time. A model based on phase-transition kinetics in condensed-matter systems explains how this just-in-time replication can happen. |

Physics 1, 30 (2008) – Published October 20, 2008 Fluid Dynamics Biological Physics Some of the most ingenious ideas for designing microfluidic systems come from observing plants and animals. A study that quantifies the protein-driven helical flow of liquid in large plant cells, for instance, may well inspire micron-scale liquid mixers and sensors. |

Physics 1, 8 (2008) – Published July 28, 2008 Statistical Mechanics Biological Physics Current technology permits tracking single molecules with exquisite precision, but the results need to be interpreted with care. Long-duration measurement of the motion of a single particle yields information that is different and complementary to that obtained from an ensemble average of many particles. |
