Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rapid progress in structural biology and molecular genetics is obvious, yet their cooperation remains out of reach. Our aim is to develop in silico pipeline, which enables us to assess the impact of the mutations found by domestic and international genetics laboratories from the structural viewpoint. Specifically, we analyzed the mutations not only by static structural analysis such as homology modeling and free energy change calculation but also by dynamic analysis using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We showed that MD is a powerful tool to evaluate effects of gene mutations on protein structure and function.
