Biophysics: Polymer Folding and DNA Organization

This lecture delves into the biophysics of polymer folding, focusing on proteins and DNA. The instructor explains the principles behind the folding process, the role of hydrophobic interactions, and the importance of compact conformations. The discussion extends to DNA organization, covering topics such as chromatin fibers, nucleosomes, and chromosome conformation capture techniques. The lecture emphasizes the significance of understanding the structural properties of polymers and DNA in biological processes.
