Mathematical and Computational Methods in Molecular Biology
Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system, often associated with the second law of thermodynamics which states that in an isolated system, entropy tends to increase over time. In molecular biology, entropy plays a crucial role in understanding the stability of macromolecules and the energetic landscapes of biological processes, influencing how sequences are aligned during analysis methods.
