Fertigkeiten Kenntnisse
(*)More specifically, upon completion of the course, they will be able to - remember, understand, explain discussed biophysical theory and methods (k1, k2, k3) - apply, analyze, and critically review problems related to the discussed content (k3, k4, k5) (*)Students are familiarized with physical models and experimental techniques required for the description of biological systems . The lecture content includes: • Thermodynamics: An overview of the basic principles of thermodynamics required for the description of biological systems throughout the course . • Osmosis: Insights in the properties of cell membranes as semipermeable membranes and their roles. • Biomembranes: knowledge of biomembranes, their composition, and model systems. • Diffusion: Insights and physical principles on passive transport processes in biological systems; methods for the experimental evaluation of diffusion in biosystems. • Electrical processes at membranes, Electrodiffusion: Electrical properties of lipid membranes, determinants and measurement of electrostatic membrane potentials • Description of the protein translocation machinery from a thermodynamic perspective. • Vesicular transport of secretory molecules and plasma membrane proteins: Main pathways, mechanism of vesicle fusion and measurement techniques thereof . • Selective biomembrane permeability: Ion channels and transporters, steady-state description of ion fluxes, techniques for measurement of ion currents through biomembranes.
