Biophysics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of physical science to study biological systems. Studies included under the branches of biophysics span all levels of biological organization , from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems. Biophysical research shares significant overlap with biochemistry nanotechnology bioengineering agrophysics and systems biology Molecular biophysics typically addresses biological questions that are similar to those in biochemistry and molecular biology , but the questions are approached quantitatively. Scientists in this field conduct research concerned with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis, as well as how these interactions are regulated. A great variety of techniques are used to answer these questions. Fluorescent imaging techniques, as well as electron microscopy x-ray crystallography NMR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are often used to visualize structures of biological significance.

Physics Planet Sunday October 31, 2010 Homepage Astrophysics Astrophysics Big Bang ... Three Laws of Thermodynamics Biophysics You may ask yourself what exactly is biophysics? Biophysics is a combination of physical science and cell and molecular biology. It is really an interdisciplinary field that includes concepts from biology, genetics, physiology, medicine, chemistry engineering, mathematics and physics. The true definition of biophysics can be hard to pin down, as the field is made up of scientists who come from different backgrounds, different focuses, and different views of what biophysics actually is. The main emphasis of biophysics is to gain an understanding of how biological systems work. The understanding of how the biological systems work is actually gained by applying principles of both physics and chemistry and adding mathematical analysis along with computer modeling. It is quite complex. Biophysics is actually a molecular science. The properties of molecules including smaller molecules of fatty acids and sugars to larger molecules like proteins, starches and even DNA. The molecules mentioned above are actually the building blocks. When combined they make up cells, tissues and even whole organisms. They form complex structures that have dimension of 10 to 100 to 1000 to 10,000 nm and even larger.

BURTON, FOUNDER OF UWO'S DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS, INDUCTED INTO THE CANADIAN MEDICAL HALL OF FAME In 1945, Dr. Alan C Burton was recruited to the University of Western Ontario where he founded and led the first Department of Biophysics in a Canadian medical school from 1948-1970. He repeatedly turned down numerous positions in the United States, and his department is now one of Canada's largest biophysics departments, known for its innovative graduate program. In his later years, Dr. Burton turned his energies towards the problem of cancer, including protection against cancer by altitude, once again showing how simple physics can help to more clearly understand medical problems. In April 2010, Dr. Burton was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame for his enormous contributions to science and medicine.

Centenary Biophysics Biophysics offers the broadest foundation for students hoping to understand modern biology, medicine, and related disciplines. Dr. Juan Rodriguez What is Biophysics? Biophysics can be generally defined as the study of biological systems from the perspective of the physical sciences. This is the field of science that explains how physical phenomena like mechanics electricity, magnetism, light, heat, and nuclear radiation related to the structure and the function of biological systems. As such, biophysics encompasses many areas of interest, including: Bioenergetics Biophysical Theory and Modeling Cell Biophysics Channels, Receptors, and Transporters Electrophysiology Membranes Muscle and Contractility Nucleic Acids Photobiophysics Proteins Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Other Techniques Supramolecular Assemblies You can get a feel for biophysics by taking a look at the Centenary's Department of Physics offers a B.S. in Biophysics Biophysics as Preparation The study of biophysics is about more than just commanding facts — instead, biophysics trains you to work through problems like a physical scientist. That is, you'll learn to devise theoretical constructs to piece together seemingly disconnected facts. You'll develop the discipline to ask yourself routinely "Does this hypothesis make sense given from what is known about the dynamics of this biological system? Can I make a theoretical prediction based on exact physical principles?" This rigorous attitude is becoming increasingly important in the biological sciences as the field attempts to deal with the overwhelming amount of microscopic information derived from advanced scientific instrumentation.

FISH SCALE. Epidermis is a system that lays the border between the body of the biological object and the environment. Traditionally it's considered as a structure devoid of any physical or physiological features, important for the life of an organism. The results of our numerous researches in this field let us think that epidermis plays an essential role in life sustaining for it provides energy and information exchange with the environment on the base of wave processes [1-4]. Thus, by using tortoise-shell scutes and then fish scales, we have designed the biosensors allowing remote registration of the pathology of different tissues, such as inflammation, scarring, traumas, ulceration and malignization [2]. Later on we have conducted a series of successful experiments with fish scales on indication of different environmental signals detections including earthquakes, geomagnetic storms and other external impacts [3]. By using capacitive sensors with fish scales as insulators, we have managed to selectively and remotely register the presence of the hydrocarbon compound - the black mineral oil [4].
