It teaches scientific principles to quantitatively assess the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19 in indoor spaces based on factors such as the occupancy, time, room geometry, mask use, ventilation, air filtration, humidity, respiratory activities, etc., as well as how these factors interact. This collection is suitable for learners with some undergraduate-level training in STEM, although some videos may also be accessible to the general public. Graduate students and professionals can watch optional videos with more challenging mathematics. A full MITx course with problems and bonus content was previously available for free on edX, but that course is no longer accepting new enrollments. We will update this page if/when the MITx course is offered again. https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-10-s95-physics-of-covid-19-transmission-fall-2020 Fall 2020 Bazant, Martin Gu, Joey Cohen, Alex 2021-04-08T14:21:46+05:00 en-US COVID-19, coronavirus, coronavirus disease 2019, SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, disease transmission, respiratory disease, health and safety, COVID-19 prevention, pandemic prevention, superspreading, engineering, chemical engineering, applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, physics, STEM, fluid dynamics, indoor air, epidemiology, ordinary differential equations MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Taught for the first time in Fall 2013, this course covers examples of the use of chemical biology and twenty-first-century molecular genetics in understanding human health and therapeutic intervention. The MIT Biology Department Introductory Biology courses 7.012, 7.013, 7.014, 7.015, and 7.016 all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/biology/7-016-introductory-biology-fall-2018 Fall 2018 Imperiali, Barbara Martin, Adam Ray, Diviya 2020-05-12T13:01:52+05:00 7.016 en-US biochemistry molecular biology genetics human genetics pedigrees biochemical genetics molecular biology chemical biology molecular genetics recombinant DNA technology cell biology cancer viruses HIV bacteria antibiotics human health therapeutic intervention cell signaling evolution reproduction infectious diseases therapeutics MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course examines the chemical and physical properties of the cell and its building blocks, with special emphasis on the structures of proteins and principles of catalysis, as well as the chemistry of organic / inorganic cofactors required for chemical transformations within the cell. Topics encompass the basic principles of metabolism and regulation in pathways, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis / degradation, pentose phosphate pathway, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Course Format This OCW Scholar course, designed for independent study, is closely modeled on the course taught on the MIT campus. The on-campus course has two types of class sessions: Lectures and recitations. The lectures meet three times each week and recitations meet once a week. In recitations, an instructor or Teaching Assistant elaborates on concepts presented in lecture, working through new examples with student participation, and answers questions. MIT students who take the corresponding residential class typically report an average of 10–15 hours spent each week, including lectures, recitations, readings, homework, and exams. All students are encouraged to supplement the textbooks and readings with their own research. The Scholar course has three major learning units, called Modules. Each module has been divided into a sequence of lecture sessions that include: Textbook ReadingsLecture Notes or StoryboardsA video by Professor JoAnne Stubbe or Professor John EssigmannProblem Sets and solutions To help guide your learning, each of these problem sets are accompanied by Problem Solving Videos where Dr. Bogdan Fedeles solves one of the problems from the set. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/5-07sc-biological-chemistry-i-fall-2013 Fall 2013 Essigmann, John Stubbe, JoAnne Fedeles, Bogdan 2017-08-22T16:37:56+05:00 5.07SC en-US protein structure enzymes catalysis biochemical transformations organic cofactors inorganic cofactors redox cofactors metabolism glycolysis glycogen synthesis gluconeogenesis fatty acid synthesis fatty acid degradation pentose phosphate pathway Krebs cycle oxidative phosphorylation MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
