Course Overview

The Biophysical chemistry certification course is an online 12 weeks course. The programme is offered through the platform of the educational provider Swayam. The certification is provided by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and NPTEL. The course syllabus has been rigorously researched, and designed by the professors at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

The Biophysical chemistry training is a very basic, and introductory course on the fundamental concepts of biophysical chemistry. This course emphasizes basic topics like protein structure elements, protein folding energy, it's mixing, and relaxation techniques. All these techniques are used to deeply study the fast-folding of protein. The syllabus ultimately ends with a discussion on tools in popular fields of protein Absorption, Fluorescence, and IR.
