| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, approximate protein models comprising main chain structures and linear springs were considered as robotic mechanisms. Methods were developed to effectively extract information on the functional expression of proteins from the aforementioned models. These analyses are based on responses to forces in static equilibrium. In particular, the mechanism feature analysis, which identifies mechanism features present in the shapes of proteins, is considered to be effective. Moreover, a computational platform that is capable of parallel and incremental computations was developed. Through the analyses of various types of protein systems, the study confirmed the ability to obtain insight into the understanding functional expression sequences by investigating compliance properties such as mechanism feature, in particular, observing the changes of these properties before and after the interactions with other molecules.
