Biophysical chemistry explores the interplay between chemical and biological systems and their structures. Our faculty specialize in studying biomolecular transport, focusing on diffusion, viscosity, and electrophoresis. They investigate the structure, dynamics, and functions of biological macromolecules while advancing theoretical and computational approaches for biological research. Their work includes simulating critical DNA-related processes like replication and repair, as well as analyzing nucleic acid structures and interactions.
Researchers employ physical chemistry techniques to examine biological systems, utilizing spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance and x-ray diffraction. The department maintains a strong cyber infrastructure, featuring high-performance computing, grid computing, data storage, and visualization tools. Georgia State fosters a collaborative environment with academics and scientists, including faculty and doctoral candidates from various fields and institutions, expanding its high-capacity supercomputing network. The Chemistry Department has a proven track record of utilizing computational techniques for groundbreaking research.
