ABSTRACT
Polymers, as already known, are large molecules created by linking a series of simple monomers. Apart from synthetically generated polymers, there are biopolymers that are the most important components of living organisms such as proteins, nucleic acids, and sugars. These biopolymers are the key factor in controlling and regulating several biochemical and biophysical functions of living cells, thus, in turn, participating in all major natural processes leading to be an integral part of cell machinery. These biopolymers can undergo highly cooperative interactions, which give rise to their property of nonlinear response to external stimuli. This high degree of cooperativity is thought to be the cause behind the strongly coherent biochemical and biophysical functions in living cell machinery.
