ABSTRACT

In this chapter we illustrate how kinetic models can be applied to resolve different problems arising in the areas of biotechnology and biomedicine. We present several examples of these types of applications aimed at improving drug safety (Mogilevskaya, Demin, and Goryanin 2006), drug discovery (Goryanin, Demin, and Tobin 2003) and strain improvement (Demin et al. 2005).
