「Elucidating and Controlling Functional Dynamics of Biomolecular Machines Using Molecular Simulations and Machine Learning」
要 旨：Biomolecular machines, such as motor and transporter proteins, change conformations when they function. First, I will introduce approaches for predicting conformational changes using the structure-prediction AI AlphaFold, with modifications to its procedure. Second, I will present approaches that integrate AlphaFold with molecular dynamics simulations to validate predicted structures and obtain physical properties, such as free energy. Third, I will introduce an approach combining molecular simulations with machine learning for estimating reaction coordinates that precisely capture the transition dynamics of conformational changes. This approach enables us to control the speed of a transporter protein, which was validated by experiments.
讲演は英语になります。
