Lecture

Polymer Biophysics: DNA Structure and Biomechanics

Description

This lecture delves into the biophysics of polymers, focusing on DNA structure and biomechanics. Topics covered include the organization of DNA inside cells, the persistence length of polymers, the double helix structure of DNA, and experimental techniques like Hi-C for studying DNA conformation. The instructor explains the concept of persistence length, the Freely Jointed Chain model, and the pulling experiments used to measure DNA biomechanical properties.
