[sci.nanotech] Molecular Biology and Computation Bibliography

thearlin@vdsvax.crd.ge.com (Thearling Kurt H) (08/18/89)

Here's a list of references for a combination of the fields
of Biology and Computation.  It includes refrecences on 
Molecular Computation, Computer-Aided Protein Design, Modeling
Biomolecules, and others.  Since my background is in 
computer science rather than biology, the biology does not
usually get too technically detailed.
