Class Objectives
/Class Outline
We understand the phenomena involved in  physical chemistry,  such as membrane transports of small biomolecules in our body and their  thermodynamic and electrical changes and learn the ability that we can explain them. 
Class Schedule Lesson 1
Physicochemical property of the water solution (body fluid) 1 (Water & solution, thermal capacity, thermal conductivity, heat of fusion, the heat of evaporation, surface tension, dissolution ability etc.)
Lesson 2
Physichemical properties of the water solution (body fluid) 2 (osmotic pressure, molar concentration and osmolar density, colloid osmotic pressure)
Lesson 3
Physichemical properties of the water solution (body fluid) 3 (pH & acid-base equilibrium, pH buffer solution & buffering ability, in vivo buffer action)
Lesson 4
Biomembrane structure theory 1 (Physicochemical property of membrane lipids)
Lesson 5
Biomembrane structure theory 2 (membrane theory, unit membrane model, fluid mosaic model, lipid bilayer, membrane fluidity)
Lesson 6
Biomembrane structure theory 3 (Structural theory of membrane proteins)
Lesson 7
The 1st group presentation and panel discussion

Requirements  
Grading Method The results of midterm (100 points) and end-of-term (100 points) tests (two written papers) are evaluated. To pass, 120 points or more in total are needed.
The results of group presentations and panel discussions and the percentage of attendance are also evaluated as additional points.
