BMB 467 - Physical Biochemistry

Designed for students who have a strong background in the properties and function of biomolecules including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Focus will be on the physical, chemical, and thermodynamic principles that define macromolecular interactions in cells and solution. Topics include thermodynamics of macromolecular systems, bioenergetics, binding, solution behavior, macromolecular interactions, transport, separation techniques, spectroscopy, phase transitions, and steady state and rapid reaction kinetic principles.

Prerequisites: BMB 460 or concurrently or permission; and BMB 322, CHY 252, MAT 127.
