The lab studies the hydration of proteins using theory and machine learning.

AboutAbout the lab
Reading protein hydration through theory and machine learning
The Yoshidome Lab (Mathematical Physics Division) studies the behavior of water around proteins (hydration) and related phenomena using liquid-state theory and machine learning.
Its research keywords include liquid-state theory, proteins, solvation and hydration, and manifold learning.
Electron microscopy and coherent X-ray diffraction imaging are also among its research keywords.
At the undergraduate level, the lab supervises students in the Applied Physics Course.
Key terms
- Hydration
- The gathering of water molecules around a dissolved substance, surrounding it
- Manifold learning
- A machine learning method that finds the low-dimensional structure, describable with few variables, underlying data represented by many variables
- Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging
- A method in which X-rays with aligned waves are directed at a sample and an image is obtained from the resulting diffraction pattern

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the water surrounding proteins (hydration) using liquid-state theory and deep learning, working to make the analysis fast enough for practical use. It is also involved in research that combines nano-CT images with machine learning to predict gas diffusion in fuel cell catalyst layers.
*Illustrative imageAnalyzing Protein Hydration with Deep Learning
The lab uses deep learning to analyze the hydration around proteins in less time than conventional methods. It aims to apply this to drug discovery.
*Illustrative imagePredicting Gas Diffusion in Fuel Cells with Machine Learning
Using nano-CT images from NanoTerasu and machine learning, the lab has achieved prediction of gas diffusion in fuel cell catalyst layers in about 10 seconds. Tohoku University and JST announced the result in a press release.
