How does a molecule drive life?
A life is driven by a variety of biomolecules that function dynamically in an enclosed hierarchical system, such as body, tissue, and cells that retain necessary and sufficient connections to the environments. We are trying to understand how dynamic behaviors of a biomolecule drive biological functions through detailed observation and appropriate manipulation of the molecule by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other biophysical techniques.
