Computer modeling is a powerful method to understand modern problems in biology and biochemistry. In this course you will learn how to use the computer to model fundamental biochemical processes (equilibria, acid-base relationships, kinetics) and to explore biological processes (metabolism, membrane transport, macromolecular structure). This course aims at developing your problem solving skills in biological sciences. Independent study and exploration are greatly encouraged.
