- Introduces the major classes of biological macromolecules and the physics underlying their structure, interaction, and biological function.
- Emphasis is on physical techniques for characterizing the structure and dynamics of proteins.
- Students are required to present a written and oral report on a focused research topic in molecular biophysics, based on a critical review of current scientific literature.
- Topics may include introduction to biomolecular structure, aqueous solution physics and hydrophobic interactions, chemical thermodynamics and reaction dynamics, spectroscopic techniques, molecular force measurements, and protein dynamics.
