We integrate three different levels of description -molecular, cellular, and that of cell population- into a single model, which seems to capture many experimental aspects of the system.Molecular NetworksStatistical MechanicsBiological PhysicsCell BehaviorModeling network dynamics: the lac operon, a case studytext
