Bio Physics and Structural Biology

Biophysics deals with the study of physical phenomena & physical processes in spanning molecules, cells, tissues and organisms. The principles and methods of Biophysics are used to understand biological systems. It closely relates to quantitative and systems biology. This research shares significant overlap with physical chemistry, nanotechnology and biochemistry, Bioengineering, computational biology, biomechanics and systems biology. Molecular biophysics deals with the study of the principles prevailing bio molecular systems. It explains biological function like molecular structure, dynamics and organization, from single molecules to supramolecular structures. Structural biology deals with the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, mainly proteins and nucleic acids, and how alterations in their structures affect their function. Structural biology includes the principles of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. The aim of structural biology includes developing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular shapes and forms of biological macromolecules and encompassing this knowledge to understand how different molecular architectures are used to perform the chemical reactions
