| Outline of Research at the Start |
Biomolecules are essential for cellular processes, and disruptions in their function can lead to severe diseases. Engineering biomolecules with specific functions offers tremendous promise for society. Because biomolecules are intrinsically flexible, experimental investigation to elucidate their function is challenging. We will work on the integration of experimental data with simulation, Data Integration Simulation, to provide approaches for elucidating biomolecular function and apply them to specific proteins, such as the Cryptochrome proteins involved in the circadian rhythm.
