BIOL 319 Introduction to Biophysics (3 credits)

Offered by: Biology (Faculty of Science)

Overview

Biology (Sci) : Emerging physical approaches and quantitative measurement techniques are providing new insights into longstanding biological questions. This course will present underlying physical theory, quantitative measurement techniques, and significant findings in molecular and cellular biophysics. Principles covered include Brownian motion, low Reynolds-number environments, forces relevant to cells and molecules, chemical potentials, and free energies. These principles are applied to enzymes as molecular machines, membranes, DNA, and RNA.

Terms: Winter 2025

Instructors: Reisner, Walter (Winter)
