- "Biophysical chemistry is a physical science that uses the concepts of physics and physical chemistry for the study of biological systems."
This subfield studies the chemical and physical principles underlying biological systems.
Thermodynamics: The study of the relationships between energy, heat, and work in chemical systems.
Chemical kinetics: The study of the rates at which chemical reactions take place and the factors that affect them.
Molecular spectroscopy: The study of the interaction of light with molecules and the resulting spectra.
Quantum mechanics: The study of the physical properties of matter at the atomic and subatomic level.
Statistical mechanics: The study of the behavior of large groups of molecules and their interactions.
Molecular mechanics: The study of the physical properties and behavior of large molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
Electrochemistry: The study of the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions.
Biomolecular structure and function: The study of the three-dimensional structure and function of biological macromolecules.
Colloid and surface chemistry: The study of the behavior of particles and molecules at interfaces.
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics: The study of systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium, such as living organisms.
Protein Structure and Function: This area of Biophysical Chemistry focuses on the study of protein structures and how they relate to their functions.
