Molecular Structures: Polymers and Folding

This lecture covers the anatomy of questions related to molecular structures, such as nucleotides and polymers. Concepts like polypeptides, DNA folding, and RNA structures are discussed, emphasizing the importance of secondary structures in biological functions. The lecture also delves into the significance of lipid structures, the role of cholesterol in membranes, and the formation of liposomes. Additionally, the lecture explores the principles of PCR, enzyme activity at different temperatures, and the behavior of extremophiles. The session concludes with a demonstration of nylon polymerization, highlighting the alternating copolymer structure.
