This lecture covers the atomic force spectroscopy of a polymer chain, focusing on the constant-force treatment and viewing a polymer as an entropic oscillator. It discusses the partition function at constant force, the mean extension of the polymer, and the behavior of the force when the polymer is fully extended.
