Topological decoding of biomolecular fold complexity

Biological polymers, including proteins and the genome, undergo folding processes crucial for their proper functioning. Even slight changes in the folding structure of these biopolymers can have significant implications, leading to the development of various pathological conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

In this thesis, we leverage the theoretical framework of Circuit Topology and expand its application to real-world scenarios. By employing this approach, we quantify the folding patterns of biological polymers, offering valuable insights for detecting harmful misfolds. Furthermore, this research holds the potential to provide fundamental design principles for molecular engineering in the realm of pharmaceutical applications.
