Are there applications of Biophysics in Biotechnology?

[QUOTE="Ygggdrasil, post: 5575348, member: 124113"] Several of the newest DNA sequencing technologies (e.g. single-molecule real time sequencing, nanopore sequencing, ion seminconductor sequencing) grew out of tools originally developed by biophysicists. Many tools commonly used in biology and biotechnology research (various types of light and electron microscopes, x-ray crystallography, NMR/MRI, electrophysiology, etc.) originated from the physics community. Advanced quantum mechanics is often not applicable to biological systems because you do not need quantum mechanics to accurately model the behavior of most biological systems. One are where quantum mechanics is likely to be helpful is in engineering new enzymes as quantum mechanics is required to model the chemical reactions that enzymes catalyze. [/QUOTE]
