What I do

• Model protein folding dynamics
• Analyze membrane transport mechanisms
• Calculate molecular forces in DNA/RNA
• Simulate ion channel electrophysiology
• Study biomechanics of cells and tissues
• Model neural signal propagation

When to use me

When analyzing biological systems using physical models, designing drug delivery systems, or studying molecular biophysics.

Key Concepts

• Protein Folding: Energy landscapes determine folding pathways
• Membrane Fluidity: Fluid mosaic model describes lipid bilayers
• Brownian Motion: Random thermal fluctuations affect molecular dynamics
• Michaelis-Menten Kinetics: v = V_max [S]/(K_m + [S]) for enzyme rates
• Nernst Potential: E = (RT/zF) ln([out]/[in]) for ion equilibrium
• Hookean Springs: F = -kx models molecular bond stretching
