CHEM 448 - Biophysical Chemistry

Credits: 3

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.

Prerequisites: CHEM 464 and MATH 125.
Corequisites: CHEM 448L.
