MSE 5625
Supramolecular Biophysics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

This course will describe how biomolecules cooperate to assembly structures, build material, and process information. We will start by discussing stoichiometric assembly macromolecular complexes. Then, we'll discuss how biomolecules assemble to make 1D, 2D and 3D materials. These include, cytoskeletal filaments, phospholipid bilayers, and biomolecular condensates. Finally, we'll discuss how cells use these phenomena for control (regulation) and computation.

When Offered Fall.

Permission Note Intended for: seniors and graduate students.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: statistical physics and/or thermodynamics; electrostatics; vector calculus; differential equations; basic scientific computing; introductory biology.
