CHEM-4491 (3) Modern Biophysical Methods

Covers the basic theory of biophysical methods widely employed in biochemistry and biology, including: electrophoresis, mass spec, calorimetry, evanescent waves, plasmon resonance, Xray diffraction, absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, electron and optical microscopy and single molecule methods. Also discusses ways to maximize rigor and reproducibility in biophysical studies. Department enforced prerequisites: undergraduate chemistry (general, organic physical); physics; calculus. Same as CHEM 5491. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of CHEM 3311 or 3351 or 3451, and PHYS 1110 or PHYS 2010, and MATH 2300 or APPM 1360, and CHEM 4400 (formerly CHEM 4411) or 4511 or corequisite of CHEM 4400 or 4511. (all minimum grade C).
