| 概 要 | Energy transport during chemical reactions or following photoexcitation in systems of biological molecules is mediated by numerous interfaces that separate chemical groups and molecules. Describing and predicting energy transport has been complicated by the inhomogeneous environment through which it occurs, and general rules are still lacking. I will discuss recent work on identification of networks for vibrational energy transport in biomolecules and their environment, with focus on the nature of energy transfer across interfaces. Energy transport is influenced both by structure of the biomolecular system as well as equilibrium fluctuations of non-bonded contacts between chemical groups, biomolecules and water along the network. While discussing our computational work on vibrational energy transport in proteins and protein complexes I will also make contact with a number of recent experimental studies. |
