Biophysical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that combines principles and methods from both physics and biology to study the physical and chemical properties of biological molecules. This field focuses on understanding the interactions between biological molecules and how they contribute to biological processes such as enzyme catalysis, protein folding, and membrane dynamics. Researchers in biophysical chemistry use a variety of techniques, including spectroscopy, microscopy, and computational modeling, to study the structure, function, and dynamics of biomolecules at a molecular level. This interdisciplinary approach allows researchers to gain insights into the fundamental principles governing biological systems and to develop new technologies for applications in fields such as drug discovery and biotechnology.
