Harvard:Biophysics 242r/2011

Course overview

• Graduate level seminar focusing on in-silico design pipelines for nucleic acid- and protein-based molecular machinery and programmable molecular systems. Students are mentored to produce substantial midterm and final group design projects.
• No formal prerequisites. Projects are tailored to each student's strengths and interests.

Example topics for final design project

• Artificial chemotactic swimmers
• Nonequilibrium networks of nano-machines mimicking dynamic instability in the cytoskeleton
• Nucleic acid logic automata responsive to microRNAs in serum
• Self-assembled solar energy harvester based on bio-inorganic nano-antennae for uv-vis
• Systematic debugging of DNA labeling chemistries by atomic-resolution TEM imaging of DNA origami
• Light-controlled transcriptional activation and repression through rational molecular design
• Directed evolution of tissue engineering scaffold nano-materials
• Programmable multistep chemical synthesis by templating on nanostructures
• Ultra-sensitive molecular signal processing for synthetic biology
• Synthetic nanostructure - virus conjugates
• Nano-breadboards for probing electron transport in proteins
• Replication of information in synthetic crystals
• Etc.
