CHEM-30200 Biophysical Chemistry 1

Biophysical Chemistry will explore the applications of physical chemistry to probe the structure, function, and reactivity of biological systems.  More specifically this course applies the theories of gases, physical transformation, chemical equilibrium, phase diagrams, mixtures, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, and the laws of statistical thermodynamics to biological and supramolecular systems.  The approach seeks to derive phenomena in biological systems in terms of either the molecules that make up the system or the supra-molecular structure of the system.
