The symposium, Symmetries in Science IV: Biological and Biophysical Systems, was held at Schloss Hofen, Vorarlberg, during the period July 24-27, 1989. Its purpose was to promote interaction between scientists working in the area of biological-biophysical research with scientists working in physics, mathematical physics, and mathematics. Reviews in the field of biological-biophysical research were presented by the participants, and subsequently these presentations were analyzed by the interdisciplinary group in a workshop and by means of round table dis- cussions. This volume contains the review presentations as a means of making this subject available to the general scientific community. The symposium was co-sponsored by: Southern Illinois University at Carbondale Land Vorarlberg U.S. Office of Naval Research, London We wish to thank these institutions for their support.
