biophysical methods

Biophysical methods are techniques used to study the physical properties of biological molecules, such as proteins and DNA. These methods help researchers understand how these molecules function, interact, and change in different environments. Common techniques include spectroscopy, which analyzes how light interacts with molecules, and microscopy, which provides detailed images of structures at the molecular level. By combining biology, physics, and chemistry, biophysical methods reveal insights into the mechanisms of biological processes, aiding in drug development and the understanding of diseases.
