The lab explores the motions and functions of biomolecules through both computation and experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling biomolecular motion through computation and experiments
The Quantum Life Computational Science Lab studies the motions and functions of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acid complexes, at the Institute for Quantum Life Science of QST.
Using both computer-based calculations and experiments with tools such as optical tweezers, the lab aims to clarify how biological macromolecules move and perform their functions.
In particular, the lab works on the binding and dissociation of small molecules and proteins, the relationship between DNA packaging states and gene expression, and the creation of functional proteins.
On the lab's website, it is presented under the name 'Biomolecular Simulation Team.'
Key terms
- Biological macromolecules
- Large molecules that make up living organisms, such as proteins and DNA
- Molecular simulation
- A method that uses computers to calculate the motion of atoms within a molecule in order to study how the molecule moves
- Optical tweezers
- A tool that uses a focused laser beam to trap and move microscopic particles
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to uncover how biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acid complexes move, and the mechanisms by which they carry out their functions. Building on this, its research goal is to intervene in that motion through approaches such as small-molecule drugs, amino acid mutations, and protein design.
