Statistical physics of biomacromolecules
Summary
Introduction to the application of the notions and methods of theoretical physics to problems in biology.
Content
1. Introduction to polymer theory: on and off-lattice polymers; statistical
properties; exact, numerical and approximate results; correlation length;
self-avoidance.
2. Interacting polymers: experiments and models; analytical and
numerical solutions of the models; phase diagram.
3. Proteins: their role in biology; basic components; experimental results;
models; analytical and numerical results.
4. Molecular Binding: Derivation of basic rules. Equilibrium and non-equilibrium binding.
5. Molecular Motors: how to use energy for directed motion.
