Molecular Biophysics I
(BMB 6332; 3 Credit Hours) Syllabus
In this course, students learn thermodynamics and kinetics for biological molecules. Both theoretical and experimental aspects are covered. Students also learn the Mathematica software so that they can use it as a tool for their own research. This course will introduce the student to the use of Mathematica as a tool for problem solving, simulation, and programming. This tool will be used throughout the entire curriculum.
