Sato Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that applies quantum chemistry to whole proteins, aiming at the design of new materials and drugs.
AboutAbout the lab
Calculating whole proteins with quantum chemistry.
Sato Lab studies computational biomolecular science, using computers to calculate large molecules such as proteins.
The lab develops ProteinDF, a program based on density functional theory that calculates all the electrons in a protein.
The lab is carrying out research and development on an integrated simulation system that uses this program.
It aims at applications in industry and society, such as the design of materials and drugs with new functions.
Key terms
- Quantum chemistry
- A field that uses quantum mechanics to investigate the properties of molecules and chemical reactions through calculation
- Density functional theory
- A quantum chemistry method that calculates the states and energies of electrons in a molecule based on electron density
- Molecular orbital
- A description of how electrons are spread out and exist within a molecule
ResearchResearch themes
The lab researches and develops an integrated simulation system built on ProteinDF, an all-electron protein calculation program based on density functional theory. By treating the whole molecular structure of a protein with quantum chemistry, the lab investigates how reactions work and applies the results to areas such as the design of new enzymes and nanomaterials.
