The scattering of light and its applications to chemistry.

G Oster - Chemical reviews, 1948 - ACS Publications
… An application of equation 10 was the determination of the molecular weights of tomato
bushy stunt virus and influenza virus by the use of a spectrophotometer (Oster (138)). It was …

Network thermodynamics: dynamic modelling of biophysical systems

GF Oster, AS Perelson, A Katchalsky - Quarterly reviews of …, 1973 - cambridge.org
… In this paper, we propose a formalism which, we feel, is more appropriate for the
phenomenological description of biological systems (Oster, Perelson & Katchalsky, 1971) …

The physics of molecular motors

C Bustamante, D Keller, G Oster - Accounts of chemical research, 2001 - ACS Publications
Molecular motors convert chemical energy into mechanical force and movement. Operating
at energies just above those of the thermal bath, these motors experience large fluctuations, …

Size and shape in ontogeny and phylogeny

P Alberch, SJ Gould, GF Oster, DB Wake - Paleobiology, 1979 - cambridge.org
We present a quantitative method for describing how heterochronic changes in ontogeny relate
to phyletic trends. This is a step towards creating a unified view of developmental biology …

This phenomenon is discussed more fully in Mogilner and Oster (1996). Finally, we mention …

Bifurcations and dynamic complexity in simple ecological models

RM May, GF Oster - The American Naturalist, 1976 - journals.uchicago.edu
Many biological populations breed seasonally and have nonoverlapping generations, so
that their dynamics are described by first-order difference equations, N t+1 = F (N t ). In many …

[PDF][PDF] Cellular motions and thermal fluctuations: the Brownian ratchet

CS Peskin, GM Odell, GF Oster - Biophysical journal, 1993 - cell.com
We present here a model for how chemical reactions generate protrusive forces by rectifying
Brownian motion. This sort of energy transduction drives a number of intracellular processes…
