(CHE 421) Biomolecular & Cellular Mechanics

3 Credits

Mechanics and physics of cell components, from fundamental biomolecules to the entire cell. The mechanics of proteins and other biopolymers in 1D, 2D, and 3D structures, cell membrane structure and dynamics, and the mechanics of the whole cell. This course is a graduate version of CHE 321 (BioE/Phy 321). The lecture content will be the same as in CHE 321 (BioE/Phy 321), but students enrolled in CHE 421 ( BIOE 421 ) will have more advanced assignments. Closed to students who have completed CHE 321 (BioE/Phy 321). Must have graduate standing.
