Abstract
A set oflogically connected models, to study chemical systems ofbiological interest, is presented. The sequence in the set is dictated by a progressive reduction of details with a corresponding enlargement of the field of application. The exposition starts with models suitable for interactions among a finite number of molecules, passes then to models considering also solvent effects and ends with models specialized for DNA containing systems.
