For my master's thesis i decided to join biophysics research group. I joined condensed matter physics for my elective paper. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/Antique_Airline2193 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi, I am looking at doing biophysics and/or comp bio for grad school - I'd prefer to apply to the structural biology and biophysics programs because Im realizing it is easier to pick up coding and algorithms than biophysics. In undergrad I only took physics 1 (not E&M) and up through Calc 2. However, I did work in an NMR lab. I am getting an associates now in computer science and working as a lab tech in diagnostics. Are the PhD programs going to be discouraged to admit me based on my lack of physics classes/minimal background? Will I be better off applying to the comp bio programs and ta ..read more

Is there a lot of memorisation in biophysics? It it more "physics" or more "biology"? Does it have a lot of calculations? submitted by /u/TheMbx [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I rarely hear any mention of these experiments which relate to (and I previously assumed served as the foundations of) biophysics. The authors showed that a cytopathic effect can induced in a cell culture by viruses and/ or toxic chemicals, can be “transferred” to another (recipient) cell culture, completely separated by everything but a glass window. 1 Quartz blocked the cytopathic effect while glass allowed it to happen, suggesting a photonic mechanism of action. This isn't just one "lucky" experiment, Kaznacheev himself replicated the results thousands of times, and dozens of other indepen ..read more

I’m an almost a highschool senior and biophysics pick my interest. I just wanted to know what types of jobs can you get with this type of degree? submitted by /u/Pitiful_Bear_4878 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello I am a current first year student at my university. I have taken Cell bio 1, gen chem 1 and 2, organic chemistry 1, and I am going to take physics 1 in this spring term. I want to start to learn biophysics on my own and I cannot currently take in university as I am taking multiple hard classes next year and do not want to take another one. What are the best resources for learning biophysics. I am very intruiged by this topic and have bought the "Biological Physics Student Edition: Energy, Information, Life" textbook as this is what my university uses. What resources should I use and do ..read more

Hi! I’m a current high school senior majoring in biophysical chemistry at JMU next year :) I would love some tips on how to succeed in the subject, as well as any advice on what I should study this summer to prepare. For context, I’m currently taking AP physics, AP calculus BC, and a research class where I’m studying drosophila neurology. I’m not super strong in math so I’m retaking calc in college and I also haven’t done chem in like 2 years (it also wasn’t AP, just regular). I would be super grateful for any advice, thanks!! submitted by /u/Defiant_Hedgehog_489 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Anybody have any idea how long atoms exist for in the human body before needing to be turned over? Like how long does a particular carbon atom exist in our body after being ingested and incorporated into amino acids for whatever protein or say cobalt atoms in cobalamin. Just curious. submitted by /u/SynergisticSynapse [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've recently installed gromacs and everything necessary to run it through wsl but in doing the tutorial I keep encountering an error that says the chosen file can't be found when attempting to unzip the tutorial folder I'm sure I've just messed up either a path or haven't installed something properly but I can't seem to get passed this issue and I've followed all of the setup tutorials, does anyone have experience with setting up the software that may be able to assist me? submitted by /u/Impossible-Shake-996 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

From what I can tell of how he describes the process someone enters the vat of aqua-green liquid and perhaps with molecular coding a strong EM field (from outside the pool) directs the enzymes for the manipulation or body rebuild desired. I'm wondering if something similar could be developed for just healing....
