Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In 2014 fiscal year, we applied the OSCAR force fields for protein decoy selection. Among decoys refined with the same procedure, the OSCAR-force fields are good in selecting the one with a low RMSD (root mean square deviation) to the native structure. The high performance of OSCAR force fields in protein decoy selection boost our confidence to apply the force fields for protein design. So far, although there has been none in FY2014, we published three papers supported by this grant achieving our minimum goal in publication. However, we did not finish all of research work as planned. Especially, we did not finish and computationally test the protein interface design program based on the OSCAR force fields because my work contract with Osaka University ended in Oct 2014 and the Kakenhi was planned for the time period between April 2012 and March 2015. I left Japan at the end of October 2014 and turned in all of remaining fund.
