Course content
The discipline "Biophysics of membrane transport" is a fundamental biophysical discipline that deals with the structure, function and principles of functioning transport systems of the body. The discipline is designed to generalize the idea of ​​molecular and biophysical mechanisms of membrane transport. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of transmembrane ion transport and cell electrogenesis. During the study of the discipline much attention is paid to the practical application of knowledge in this field to develop new ways of influencing transport processes and / or correction of pathological conditions associated with their dysfunction.
