Explores translation, mutations, ribosome function, protein folding, and degradation processes, emphasizing the genetic code's role in protein synthesis.
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.
