Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Every lecture will have a theoretical part, a practical part, and homework. Practical exercises will be done on a Jupyter server hosted via moodle, so students can use their own laptop to participate.

Graph theoretical approaches:
- Digital representation of chemical compounds and chemical reactions.
- Graph isomorphism problem and canonical labeling.
- Reactions as graph rewrite rules.
- Combinatorial chemistry.

Stochastic methods and reaction kinetics:
- Formal properties of chemical reaction networks
- Stochastic processes, chemical master equation.
- Large reaction networks in homogeneous phase.

Chemical reaction networks as a formal language:
- CRNs as a model of computation.
- Rate-independent computation.
- Steady-state circuits.
- Dual-rail systems.
- CRN equivalence notions.

Implementing chemical reaction networks:
- DNA as a substrate for chemical kinetics.
- DNA strand displacement systems.
- Reaction enumeration and condensation.
- Compilation from CRN to DNA.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Preferred: students are graded based on participation, homework and a final presentation. Alternative: an oral exam at the end of the semester.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

For a positive grade, a student must develop a basic understanding and the ability to explain the main points of lecture material from 4 of the 5 dates. Active participation and a final presentation of homework solutions can be sufficient for getting the final grade.

A student who takes an oral exam has to explain the covered abstract chemical problems and connect them to appropriate computational concepts. Homework problems will likely be part of the final exam.

Prüfungsstoff

A mix of lecture and practical exercises.

Literatur

Literature will be provided after the lectures on the elearning platform.
