MSE 5625
Supramolecular Biophysics

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course will describe how biomolecules cooperate to assembly structures, build material, and process information. We will start by discussing stoichiometric assembly macromolecular complexes. Then, we'll discuss how biomolecules assemble to make 1D, 2D and 3D materials. These include, cytoskeletal filaments, phospholipid bilayers, and biomolecular condensates. Finally, we'll discuss how cells use these phenomena for control (regulation) and computation.


Prerequisites statistical physics and/or thermodynamics; electrostatics; vector calculus; differential equations; basic scientific computing; introductory biology.

Enrollment Information Primarily for: seniors and graduate students.
