| DNA nanotechnology provides design and construction of nano and micron-sized DNA structures by using the self-assembly and self-alignment properties of DNA molecules that store genetic information of all living organisms on Earth. This course is divided into two parts: introductory and application parts. In introduction to DNA nanotechnology, students learn significance of bionanomaterials, understanding characteristics of bionanotechnology, and study introductory molecular biology. In second part of this course consists of devices and sensors made of DNA, DNA algorithm, DNA computing, and DNA pattern mechanics. Study of various applications of DNA nanotechnology will guide students to create new ideas and concepts on the subject of bionanotechnology in the future. | |||||||||
| PHY7014 | Protein design | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Protein is a linear polymer of 20 different amino acids that fold into a three-dimensional structure. By modulating the combination of amino acid sequences and their chemical modifications, evolution has designed unfathomably various proteins that perform as a structural building block or a motor. In this course, we will learn the physical principles underlying the structure and function of proteins and the techniques for the rational design of novel proteins. Specifically, the course will cover the architecture of proteins, structure-function relationship, directed evolution technique, structure prediction, and computational design technique. | |||||||||

| Biological cells consist of various nanoscale building blocks—such and proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids—that self-assemble into micron-scale mechanical scaffolds and motors that are more stable and efficient than any human-made machines. In this course, we aim to understand the physical principles underlying the mechanical stability of the scaffolds and dynamics of the motors. Specific subjects of this course include the structure of 1D, 2D, and 3D biomaterials; materials properties of biomaterials in connection with the elasticity and polymer theories; thermal fluctuations and stability of biomaterials; dynamics of biological motors. The textbook of the course is "Mechanics of the cell" by David Boal. | |||||||||
| PHY7016 | Methods in biological physics | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Historically, the evolution of physics was driven by the interplay between the experimental observation of a new phenomenon and the theoretical prediction or explanation. In the same way, physics-based methods are revolutionizing biology by providing precise quantification methods and prediction tools. As modern science requires collaboration among research groups with many different backgrounds, a conceptual understanding of the general principles underlying each specific technique is growingly becoming essential. This course aims to provide a graduate-level introduction to experimental and computational methods in modern biophysics, including mass spectroscopy, thermodynamics and hydrodynamics methods, optical microscopy imaging, scattering and diffraction methods, nuclear magnetic resonance, and computational modeling. | |||||||||
| PHY7017 | Biomolecular thermodynamics | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Biological cells consist of soft materials such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids that fold and self-assemble to form high-order structures, following the laws of thermodynamics. Through the course, we aim to understand the folding and self-assembly problems from the thermodynamic point of view. In the first half of this course, we will review the basic concepts of entropy, enthalpy, and free energy and investigate physical driving forces such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic forces, hydrophobic effects, and solvation that govern the folding and self-assembly processes. In the second half, we will learn how the physical principles apply to various biophysical problems, including folding and self-assembly of proteins and nucleic acids, polymer properties of 1D and 2D biomaterials, ligand binding and adsorption, physical and chemical kinetics, and phase separation and condensation. | |||||||||
| PHY7018 | Genome physics | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| According to the central dogma of molecular biology, genome—the blueprint of life—is a collection of massive sequential information written in DNA that transcribes and translates into physical molecules such as RNA and proteins. Furthermore, the information-carrying genome itself is a meters-long physical polymer that utilizes the physics of folding and phase separation as a way of controlling the activity of information. Thus, studies of the interplay between information and physics is an essential subject in biophysics. In this course, we will learn how to interpret the central dogma from two different perspectives: information- and physics-based perspectives. The topics include sequence alignments of genomic and proteomic data, entropy in bioinformatics, analysis methods in genomics and proteomics, polymer physics of the genome, analysis methods in genomic structures. | |||||||||
