    Introduction

    • Biophysics is a fascinating term for the biology researchers as well as for the physics researcher, as it creates bridge between these two subjects of science.Continue Reading Physics – Biophysics – General Science Notes – For W.B.C.S Examination.
    • Biophysics (also known as biological physics) is basically an interdisciplinary approach to study the biological systems. It is uses physics technology to understand the biological systems.
    • Likewise, biophysics integrates all levels of biological organization, i.e. from molecular level to organismic and population level.
    • In 1892, first time Karl Pearson used the term ‘Biophysics.’

    Subject Matter of Biophysics

    • Biophysicists study the life (basically human life); starting from the cellular organs (such as ribosome, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) to organisms, and their environment.
    • With the advancement of technology, the scientists and researchers of both the disciplines (namely Biology and Physics) started exploring a different level of life to understand how actually biological system works.
    • The biophysicists largely research on the following types of questions −
      • How do the cells of nervous system communicate?
      • How and why do viruses invade cells?
      • What is the functionality of protein synthesis?
      • How do plants harness sunlight to make their food?

    Advantages of Biophysics

    • The study of life at molecular level helps to understand many phenomena of a human body including various diseases and their treatment.
    • Biophysics helped to understand the structure and function of DNA.
    • The study of biophysics helps to understand the various elements of bio-chemistry.
    • Biophysics also help to understand the structure and various functionality of protein.
