Molecular Biophysics

About this programme

This course provides in-depth knowledge of properties, interactions, and reactions of biological macromolecules, as well as methods for experimental measurement and quantitative modeling of these. This includes spectroscopic quantities and measurement methods, chemical equilibrium, reaction kinetics, kinetic systems of reactions within molecular biology, stochastic processes in molecular biology, diffusion and Brownian motion, and reaction processes. - explain different spectroscopic quantities and measurement methods (module 1). - formulate quantitative dynamic models of biochemical reactions and reaction schemes (module 1, module 2). - explain how reactions at the single-molecule level give rise to macroscopic observations at the ensemble level (module 1, module 2). - demonstrate an understanding of diffusion and its impact on molecular interactions and reactions (module 1). The course consists of the following modules: Module 1: Theory, 5 hp Module 2: Laboratory exercises, 2.5 hp Teaching in the course consists of lectures, exercises, seminars, project work, and laboratory exercises. Assessment for module 2 takes place through written laboratory reports and oral presentations. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities.
