Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences Spring, 1999
Instructor: Sunhee Choi Course Aims: 1. To learn thermodynamics to understand the interrelationships of various equilibrium properties of a system and the changes in equilibrium properties in processes from the macroscopic point of view. 2. To learn kinetics to understand rate processes. 3. To learn the basic principles of physical methods in characterizing biological molecules such as electrophoresis, centrifugation and radioactive counting.
