CHEM 348-348L - Biophysical Chemistry and Lab

Credits: 3, 1

A study of the fundamental principles governing the physical chemistry of biological systems. Topics covered include the forces governing protein and nucleic acid stability, the thermodynamics of protein folding and protein-ligand interactions, bioenergetics, kinetics of biochemical reactions, biological membranes and membrane transport. The physical basis of protein purification, probing protein-ligand interactions, and the determination of macromolecular structure is also discussed.

Fundamental physical chemistry principles and techniques of physical chemistry used in studying biomacromolecules and biological systems. Prerequisites: MATH 125, CHEM 464-464L

Corequisites: CHEM 348L-348. Notes: CHEM 342-342L and 344-344L may be taken as electives but may not be substituted for CHEM 348-348L.
