The student should be able to: Apply experimental methods of protein research, and in particular, optical methods in the biophysics of macromolecules. To introduce experimental methods of registration and measurement of ion currents of the plasma membrane and individual ion channels. Solve problems related to the thermodynamics of living systems.

Full-time form

The course is a continuation of the cycle of applied physics courses. Knowledge of the classical sections of general physics, higher mathematics (mathematical analysis, differential equations), the basics of biophysics and organic chemistry is necessary for successful mastering of the course.

Providing students with physical knowledge, formation of scientific views, abilities, basic skills in the field of science of physical mechanisms and physico-chemical processes that underlie the vital activity of biological objects and systems at various levels of their organization - molecular, membrane, cellular, organic.
