CHEM 576
Topics in Biophysical Chem

Credit:  4 hours.


Topics of importance in research in biophysical chemistry are discussed with emphasis on physical background and current applications; topics may be chosen from among the following: NMR and ESR spectra of biological macromolecules; x-ray diffraction studies of macromolecules; kinetics and statistical mechanics of helix coil transitions; physical approaches to the refolding and assembly of multi-subunit proteins; fluorescence spectroscopic studies on macromolecules; and light scattering from macromolecules in solution. Same as BIOP 540 and MCB 556. Prerequisite: CHEM 444 or equivalent, or CHEM 472.
