AMS 683, Biological Physics and Biophysical Chemistry: Theoretical Perspectives
This course will survey a selected number of topics in biological physics and biophysical
chemistry. The emphasis is on the understanding of physical organization principles
and fundamental mechanisms involved in the biological process. The potential topics
include: Protein Folding, Protein Dynamics, Biomolecular Interactions and Recognition,
Electron and Proton Transfer, Motors, Membranes, Single Molecules and Single Cells,
Cellular Networks, Development and Differentiation, Brains and Neural Systems, Evolution.
There will be no homework or exams. The grades will be based on the performance of
the term projects. Crosslisted with PHY 680 and CHE 683.
