| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Systems-biology approaches often suffer from the description of molecular details, because atomic details are too much to be considered with whole systems at the same time. As a result, it becomes hard to consider molecular interactions with drugs and to evaluate the effect of genomic variations due to the individual differences. To overcome the difficulty, we have developed a few methods to consider the interaction between molecular level and an upper level of the different biological layers. More specifically, we develop a method of model building for channel proteins, a method to analyze long-time molecular dynamics simulation results, and a method to simulate the mutant proteins to evaluate the molecular function differences.
