Holger Flechsig: Computational biophysics to visualize the dynamics of proteins
Assistant Professor Holger Flechsig is a member of the Computational Molecular Physics group at the NanoLSI WPI Kanazawa University.
Here he describes his research on answering the questions, “How do proteins work.” Specially, on molecular machines and motors, protein allostery, proteins interactions and cellular scale phenomena using multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations that enable us to produce molecular movies to visualize the dynamic motion of proteins.
The Kanazawa University NanoLSI Podcast offers updates of the latest news and research at the WPI-NanoLSI Kanazawa University.
The Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University was established in 2017 as part of the World Premier International (WPI) Research Center Initiative of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
Researchers at the NanoLSI are combining their cutting-edge expertise in scanning probe microscopy to establish ‘nano-endoscopic techniques’ to directly image, analyze, and manipulate biomolecules for insights into mechanisms governing life phenomena such as diseases.
