| Research Abstract |
In this Co-operative Research,frontier researchers with different methods have gathered under the new keyword "biomolecular element". They made earnest discussions with no limitation of time in four symposia. Brilliant research products have been obtained. Some typical products will be presented within a short page.
SCF program: AMOS,MCSCF program: JASON,molecular graphics program: KORIN,etc.which are large-scale programs with about a hundred thousands steps have been completed. In order to elucidate the mechanism of the charge separation in photosynthetic proteins,for the first time in the world, we performed an ab initio MO calculation on chlorophyll dimer by the AMOS program. The electronic structure of heme-oxygen complexes was revealed by JASON and excitation energies of porphyrin ring was exactly calculated by the Cl method for the first time in the world.
We proposed a calculation method for polymer's wavefunctions by using uniform localized orbitals and a many-body theory with a state description-by resonance among mass interaction structures. Phospholipid LB films which are models of artificial neurons were made and their rhythmic phenomena were analyzed by numerical simulations. A model for ion selection in ion channels was proposed to elucidate the control of ion transmission.
A method of numerical simulation for electrostatic field and induced electricity and a method of molecular force field with dihedral angles were developed and coded to understand the electric characteristic and mechanical movement of proteins,respectively. Control factors for electron transfer speed between pigments in solvent were revealed by the Monte-Carlo simulation. In order to estimate water effects to proteinti the time scale and space scale of water fluctuation were examined by molecular dynamics calculations and its factors were investigated.
