Research goal
of our group
is to
understand
biological
phenomena at
the molecular
level by using
simulations
and
theoretical
tools based on
chemistry and
physics.
Biological
systems are
maintained
through
interactions
between
biological
constituents
whose dynamics
are
characterized
by the broad
spectrum of
time and
length scales,
thereby our
primary
interest
ranges from
self-assembly
and mechanical
response of
biopolymers
(DNA, RNA, and
proteins) at
the single
molecule level
to the
interactions
among those
molecules
ultimately
responsible
for the
biological
functions.
Together with
the current
research
interest,
further
studies toward
understanding
biological
phenomena at
the system
level will be
a long term
research plan
of our group.
