Biomolecular Kinetics and Cell Dynamics: Course Description
This free OpenCourseWare offered through MIT instructs students in the fundamentals of kinetic and dynamic behavior, including motion, force, acceleration and vibration, specifically in regards to cellular and molecular processes. Students utilize computational modeling, experimental methods and quantitative analysis to design cellular and molecular biotechnologies. They also learn how intentional changes in genetics, biochemistry or biophysics at the molecular level influence physiological functions. Biological Engineering students taking this course should have a background in biological chemistry or general biochemistry, differential equations and statistical mechanics of biological systems. This course requires special software and is led by MIT Professors Douglas Lauffenburger and Forest White.
Recitation notes, assignments, solutions and supporting files, practice exams and solutions and additional study materials are available for free online. If you're interested in taking this course, visit the biomolecular kinetics and cell dynamics course page.
