BMB 428Physical Chemistry with Biological Applications
This course uses the study of physical chemistry to develop quantitative and analytical skills in biological and chemical systems. The course covers thermodynamics, solution chemistry and kinetics. The study of thermodynamics includes the three laws of thermodynamics, and the concepts of energy, entropy and enthalpy. Solution chemistry includes the study of colligative properties, ligand binding and energetics in biological systems. Kinetics covers the study of both chemical and enzyme kinetics, as well as enzyme inhibition.
