Tutorial 1, Modern Biophysics, "6 Easy Pieces"

6 Miscellaneous topics: 1) kT_room = 4.1 pN.nm 2) (Crude) estimate of height of thermal activation in a uniform g field 3) How to use the Einstein relationship to determine the # of atoms in 1 mol. 4) Kinetic energy KE = (3/2) kT , independent of phase. 5) How fast is a protein moving in a cell _between_ microscopic collisions? 6) Navier-Stokes equation and Stokes' law in the low Reynolds number limit (sketch of the derivation). Friction coefficient of a sphere.
