BIOP 8410
Quantitative Underpinnings of Biophysics
Course Description
This course will introduce students to some of the physical and chemical underpinnings of molecular biophysics. Physical principles will be discussed and related to how they govern biological systems and how they enable important biophysical techniques. Topics include biological thermodynamics, biomolecular dynamics, rate theory, enzyme kinetics, biomolecular complexes, biological fluctuations, and stochastic processes in biology.
