In this course we will study the cell (minimum unit of life) and its components. We will study several key cellular features : membranes, genomes, channels and receptors. We will apply the laws of physics to develop models to make quantitative and predicti ...
Biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and cytoskeletal filaments are polymers. As such, they share a set of properties that are common to any polymer, which are the focus of this course. Details about the protein folding problem will be cove ...
Biochemistry is a key discipline for the Life Sciences. Biological Chemistry I and II are two tightly interconnected courses that aim to describe and understand in molecular terms the processes that make life possible. ...
This course shows students how the physical principles of conservation, symmetry, and locality influence the dynamics of living organisms at the molecular and cellular level. Computer simulations are used to explore examples of cellular dynamics and phase ...
