A lab that reveals the dynamic 3D structures of drug-target proteins.
AboutAbout the lab
Accelerating drug discovery through dynamic 3D structures
The Quantitative Biophysical Chemistry Lab studies the dynamic 3D structures of drug-target proteins that are directly linked to their activity.
By integrating these findings with insights from methods in other fields, the lab aims to understand life phenomena as a whole and to accelerate drug discovery.
The lab uses methods such as NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy.
The lab is a division of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at The University of Osaka, and was previously named the Polymer Chemistry division.
Key terms
- Drug-target protein
- A protein that a drug acts on. This lab studies the dynamic 3D structures of these proteins that are directly linked to their activity.
- NMR spectroscopy
- A method for measuring the ratio and rate of exchange between structures of a protein in solution. It is also used for non-destructive, real-time observation of chemical reactions.
- X-ray crystallography
- One experimental method for determining the precise 3D structure of a protein.
ResearchResearch themes
Proteins that serve as drug receptors form 3D structures and then exert their physiological functions by constantly changing those structures. The lab reveals the dynamic 3D structures of drug-target proteins that are directly linked to their activity, with the aim of providing quantitative explanations of life phenomena and accelerating drug discovery.
