In summary, biophysics plays a crucial role in understanding the evolution of biomolecules. By studying the physical and chemical properties of these molecules, biophysicists can gain insight into how they have evolved over time and how they function in living organisms. This interdisciplinary field combines principles from physics, chemistry, and biology to investigate the structural and functional changes of biomolecules, such as DNA and proteins, throughout evolution. Biophysical techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy allow for detailed analysis of biomolecular structures and dynamics, providing valuable information for understanding the origins and adaptations of life on Earth. Overall, biophysics is an indispensable tool for studying the evolution of biomolecules and their role in shaping the diversity

I'm very glad that I found this forum. Quaintly, I got here because of a post on the 'Biology and Medical' section. I am currently working on the biophysical characterization of some biomolecules of evolutionary interest. And well; even though I am a biomedical scientist I've always been attracted to the physics side :rolleyes:. I'm really looking forward to contribute to this forum as much as I can!
