CELL BIOPHYSICS

Catalog description

Apply physical, mathematical, and computational models to cellular and sub-cellular systems. Explore thermostatistics of two-state systems in biology and case studies including protein function, binding, and cooperativity. Examine biophysics and mechanics of membranes, modeling of macromolecular and protein structure, and diffusion and hydrodynamics at the molecular and cellular scales. Explore the connection between energetics and kinetics of equilibrium and non-equilibrium cellular processes.
