DNA Research
By making full use of computer simulation and experiments, we are conducting research that is closing in on the movement of DNA in the cell nucleus and the gene expression control mechanism. In addition, to reveal the mechanisms by which radiation affects organisms, we are developing a detection method of the repairability of DNA damage and the analysis of the impact on the organisms from DNA damage. Our body is also made up of 60 trillion cells, these cells have been replaced on a regular basis (3-4 months) by metabolism.
Structural analysis of biological macromolecules by computer simulation
Attaching a fluorescent molecule to the DNA damage, measurement of the fluorescence resonance energy transition is observed only in the case of a close proximity of a distance of nanometers. Observation of how DNA can be damaged in detail.
