A Novel Mathematical Model of Protein Interactions from the Perspective of Electron Delocalization

Naoto Morikawa

Proteins are the workhorse molecules of the cell and perform their biological functions by binding to other molecules through physical contact. Protein function is then regulated t…

A novel method for identification of local conformational changes in proteins

Naoto Morikawa

Motivation: Proteins are known to undergo conformational changes in the course of their functions. The changes in conformation are often attributable to a small fraction of residue…

Discrete differential geometry of tetrahedrons and encoding of local protein structure

Naoto Morikawa

Local protein structure analysis is informative to protein structure analysis and has been used successfully in protein structure prediction and others. Proteins have recurring str…

Number sequence representation of protein structures based on the second derivative of a folded tetrahedron sequence

Naoto Morikawa

This paper proposes a new mathematical approach to characterize native protein structures based on the discrete differential geometry of tetrahedron tiles. In the approach, local s…

Discrete differential geometry of triangle tiles and algebra of closed trajectories

Naoto Morikawa

This paper proposes a new mathematical framework that can be applied to biological problems such as analysis of the structures of proteins and protein complexes. In particular, it…
