“Biophysics: from nonliving to living, from principles to mechanisms” - course 2800 rub. from MSU, training 15 weeks. (4 months), Date: December 5, 2023.

The course is largely non-standard, addressing the fundamental problems of Life on Earth and in the Universe, is dedicated to the analysis of the relationship between living and nonliving things in nature in the concept of “end-to-end evolution” from the standpoint of physics. Presents a modern view of how life arose and evolved on Earth, the fundamental the patterns of inanimate nature were transformed into unique structures and mechanisms of functioning of living things systems The specific physical, physicochemical and biological differences between nonliving and living forms of matter motion are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the problems of transformation of energy, matter and information in living systems, spatiotemporal self-organization in dissipative systems (mainly in active environments), problems of symmetry and hierarchy of living systems, molecular machines as unique converters of energy, matter and information in cells, problems evolutionism.
