The Amazing

World of
Biophysics
Hello!
I AM LINDON Best
I am here to tell you all about the amazing the world
of Biophysics Why am I the right person for this?
Because Im an expert ;)
 What is Biophysics?

Biophysics is a bridge between biology and physics.

Biology studies life in its variety and complexity. It describes how

organisms go about getting food, communicating, sensing the
environment, and reproducing. On the other hand, physics looks
for mathematical laws of nature and makes detailed predictions
about the forces that drive idealized systems.

What do biophysicists study?

How do protein
machines work?

How do systems of
nerve cells
communicate?

How do proteins pack

DNA into viruses?
How do viruses
invade cells?

How do plants
harness sunlight to
make food?
Biophysics revealed the
structure of DNA
Experiments in the 1940s showed that
genes are made of a simple chemical
DNA. How such a simple chemical could
be the molecule of inheritance remained a
mystery until biophysicists discovered the
DNA double helix in 1953.
What are the applications?

Biophysics gives us It provides the life- Advanced biophysical

Why is biophysics important right
now?

Society is facing physical and biological

problems of global proportions.

How will we continue to get sufficient energy?

How can we feed the worlds population?

How do we remediate global warming?

How do we preserve biological diversity?

How do we secure clean and plentiful water?
