Modeling Biochemical and Biological Systems
MB&B280 SP

Not Currently Offered

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.
