| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, using a large-scale first-principles calculation code we have been developing, we have succeeded to employ the self-consistent first-principles calculations for several snapshot structures of a complex biological system, an ion channel gramicidin A system embedded in lipid bilayers sandwiched by bulk water regions. By comparing the results with those by classical force fields, which are used in most theoretical studies of biological systems, we have clarified the accuracy and the problems of the classical force fields. We also developed a calculation method, which enables us to realize the molecular dynamics of complex biological systems containing several tens of thousands of atoms, based on the accurate first-principles calculations.
