Nucleic acids are the core molecules of life. We will explore the chemical, physical and structural principles of DNA and RNA, and their complexes with proteins. The goal is to establish a physical basis for understanding the myriad functions of nucleic acids in biology and biotechnology. Course open to UG, GR and MD students.
