Re: mathematical biology text book recomendation

Dear Steve,

The following recommendation has come from people working in the field of 
mathematical biology. I hope they suit your needs:


There are a number of books in biochemical networks.  Voit's book is -
perhaps - the only which mention gene networks.  Here are the
references:

 AUTHOR          :Fell, David
 TITLE           :Understanding the control of metabolism / by David Fell.
 SUBJECT         :Metabolism -- Regulation
                  Biochemistry
 SERIES          :Frontiers in metabolism, 1353-6516 ; 2
 PLACE           :London :
 PUBLISHER       :Portland Press,

 AUTHOR          :Heinrich, Reinhart, 1946-
 ADDED NAMES     :Schuster, Stefan
 TITLE           :The regulation of cellular systems / Reinhart Heinrich
and
                  Stefan Schuster.
 SUBJECT         :Cell metabolism -- Regulation -- Mathematical models
                  Control theory
 PLACE           :New York :
 PUBLISHER       :Chapman & Hall,
 DATE            :c1996.
 ISBN/ISSN       :0412032619

The following book is quite new:

Computational Analysis of Biochemical Systems, by Eberhard O. Voit.
544 pages (1 October, 2000), Cambridge University Press; ISBN: 0521785790

These are the best title if you need an introduction to understand the
basic tools and then investigate some references in the literature.



Good luck with your studies.
