How Does Biology Work? The Physical and Chemical Underpinnings of Biological Nanomachines

1 credits · Undergraduate

An introduction to biophysical chemistry and molecular biophysics. Explores principles that underpin biological structure and function through such topics as: how the structure and function of biomolecules can be studied at the level of single molecules; how biomolecular machines capture energy and do work; how biomolecules function within networks to convey signals, act cooperatively, and form patterns. Recommended prerequisite: Chemistry 301 or 311 or consent of instructor.
