1SBA Protein large-scale motions revealed by quantum beams -a new era in understanding protein dynamics

Wed. Sep 28, 2022 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room B (Hakodate Arena Budokan B)

Organizers:Naoki Yamamoto(Jichi Med. Univ.),Hiroshi Sekiguchi(JASRI)

Biological systems function by constantly changing their hierarchical and inter-hierarchical interactions among molecules, cells, and individuals. In order to visualize these dynamics, it is effective to approach them using penetrating quantum beams such as X-rays and neutron beams. This symposium will introduce recent advances in quantum beam techniques for biophysical research, mainly focusing on large structural changes within and between protein molecules. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation studies combined with the experimental researches, which deepen the knowledge on molecular mechanisms of the complexed protein systems, will also be shown.
