Institution:

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

The course covers fundamental principles of physical chemistry related to biochemical processes such as metabolism and other biochemistry. Descriptions and example applications use DNA, proteins, amino acids, including properties of hydrophobic interactions. Thermochemistry of biochemical systems including chemical energy (enthalpy of reaction) along with chemical activities and non-ideal behavior are illustrated. The importance of entropy in control of biochemical reactions is also covered. Ionic systems and redox reactions and acids and bases in biological systems are presented. The course also illustrates a number of biochemical analytical methods. Effective From: Spring 2003
