IIT Delhi, , Prof. Dr. P.K. Chowdhury

Updated On 02 Feb, 19

Overview

This introductory course in biophysical chemistry touches on some of the fundamentals of this field. Starting from basic elements in protein structure, the course covers other aspects like forces involved in protein folding, protein folding energy landscape, mechanisms of protein folding, mixing and relaxation techniques commonly used to study fast protein folding, and finally winds up with discussion on some spectroscopic tools (Absorption, Fluorescence and IR) that are very popular in the field of proteins.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:Post-Graduate Level and Above
PRE-REQUISITES :Basic Course in Physical Chemistry

Includes

Lecture 1: A Course on Bio-physical Chemistry

4.1 ( 11 )
