CHE 331 Physical Chemistry for Biosciences

This is the first course of a two-semester sequence. This course will cover the principles of physical chemistry in the areas of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, equilibrium, transport properties and reaction kinetics. Applications will be chosen to illustrate how these principles are used to describe biomolecular behavior such as in osmosis, ion channels, proteins or bioenergetics.
