This lecture explores the structure and function of biological polymers, emphasizing their information-carrying capabilities at different scales. It covers macromolecules in cells, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, and explains their unique properties compared to industrial polymers. The lecture delves into the composition and hierarchy of biological structures, highlighting the significance of monomer structure in conveying information. Additionally, it discusses the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins, as well as the self-assembly and shape control of lipids. Overall, the lecture provides insights into the complexity and importance of biological polymers in cellular processes.
