Multiscale Aspects of Molecular Motions: From Molecular Vibrations, Conformational Changes of Biomolecules to Cellular Dynamics.

Molecular aspects of living systems are important because it is the most basic aspects of life as exemplified in biochemistry and structural biology. Since molecules move due to interactive forces between atoms, physics plays an important role to understand the dynamic phenomena of living systems. Here we review our multiscale approaches for computationally treating different levels of molecular motions: vibrational dynamics of molecules, conformational change of biomolecules, and cellular dynamics using statistical-mechanics-based models.
