Biomolecular & Cellular Mechanics

3 Credits

Mechanics and physics of the components of the cell, ranging in length scale from fundamental biomolecules to the entire cell. Thecourse covers 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. Prerequisites: MATH 205 and MATH 231 and PHY 022 and ( PHY 013 or PHY 021 )
