Biomolecules with complicated, flexible structures are self-organized through weak interactions giving rise to supermolecular complexes that adopt their own dynamic, asymmetric architectures. These processes are coupled with expression of integrated functions in the biomolecular systems. Toward an integrative understanding of the principles behind the biomolecular ordering processes, we conduct multidisciplinary approaches based on detailed analyses of dynamic structures and interactions of biomolecules at atomic level, in conjunction with the methodologies of molecular and cellular biology along with synthetic and computational techniques.
- Elucidation of Dynamical Structures of Biomolecules toward Understanding the Mechanisms Underlying Their Functions
- Dynamical ordering of biomolecular systems for creation of integrated functions
Prof. Kato has another professorship in Nagoya City University.
