| Research Abstract |
We have developed the methods and simulation systems in which functional process of biological supramolecules is observed in silico in high resolution by using molecular simulations. We have also developed the methods to construct the structure and refine it to be energetically more stable one. In addition, we have designed the simulation methods to investigate functional mechanism more efficiently.
