(Biophysics Careers)

Biophysics asks how 3 dimensional determines biological function. Screening of potential drugs on a theoretical basis, combinatorial chemistry, and structure-based design for efficient drug discovery, identifying target genome sequences, analysis of protein and DNA three-dimensional structures---- these are within an area described as biophysics.
