Explores genetic code expansion through unnatural amino acids incorporation and biotechnological applications like mRNA display and SILAC-BONCAT techniques.
Delves into retooling the genetic code by expanding it beyond the standard amino acids, with a focus on eukaryotic mRNA translation and site-specific incorporation in fruit fly models.
Covers the basics of polymer biophysics, including DNA conformation modeling and the Boltzmann principle, emphasizing the exponential decay of correlations between segments.
Covers the basics of proteomics, mass spectrometry, protein synthesis, and amino acids, emphasizing the importance of molecular weight and isotopic abundance.
Explores the triumph of determinism in modern mechanics and the methodology of scientific development, with practical exercises on estimating surgical mask usage and analyzing atomic bomb energy.
