Explore the physics and molecular grammar of biological heteropolymers in this 52-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fundamental principles governing the structure and behavior of complex biological macromolecules composed of different monomer units, examining how physical laws and molecular interactions shape their properties and functions. Learn about the theoretical frameworks used to understand heteropolymer dynamics, folding mechanisms, and sequence-structure relationships in biological systems. Discover how concepts from statistical mechanics, polymer physics, and information theory apply to biological heteropolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids. Gain insights into the molecular grammar that governs the assembly and organization of these complex biological structures, and understand how sequence diversity translates into functional diversity in living systems. This presentation is part of the "Unifying Theories in High-Dimensional Biophysics" program, which aims to develop common theoretical frameworks for understanding complex biological phenomena across multiple scales and systems.
