A research lab that uses computers to investigate the structure and function of biomolecules.

AboutAbout the lab
Understanding how biomolecules work through computation
The Tama Lab uses computers to study the structure and function of biological macromolecular assemblies.
All life activities depend on the functions of biomolecules, and problems with those functions lead to disease.
Understanding the process by which these functions emerge is considered important for developing drugs and other applications.
The lab is a research group of the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University.
Key terms
- Biological macromolecular assembly
- A structure formed by many large molecules, such as proteins, coming together.
- Algorithm
- A set of steps for having a computer carry out a calculation.
ResearchResearch themes
The Tama Lab uses computational biophysics methods to study the structure and function of biological macromolecular assemblies. Its aim is to understand the process by which biomolecules perform their functions, toward drug development and other applications.
