This course is intended for graduate students and 3rd year undergraduates or higher with an interest in biophysics. In this course we will survey modern biophysical techniques for the characterization of biological macromolecules in the solution state. We will cover modern solution-based methods and computational techniques, and discuss practical applications of these techniques to current problems in biophysics, biochemistry, structural- and molecular biology, and provide a comprehensive introduction into physical biochemistry. Students will gain insight in how these methods can be used for problem solving in modern research.
The course will be presented via video conference (using Zoom, click to download client). The course will be graded based on 5 homework sets and one 30 minute presentation on an assigned paper, there will not be any midterm or final exam. The class is coordinated with the academic calendars of the University of Montana and the University of Lethbridge, with lectures as listed in the class schedule.
