Molecular Dynamics and Biochemistry

Translation—the final step of the central dogma—is one of the most fundamental processes underlying all life. In this process, the genetic code encoded in mRNA is converted into amino acids, forming the basis of protein synthesis. Although translation has long been regarded as a classical and well-understood biochemical reaction, recent technological advances have begun to reveal a wealth of phenomena that cannot be explained by traditional textbook models.

By leveraging cutting-edge analytical approaches, we aim to uncover the dynamic processes through which nascent polypeptide chains, produced by translation, mature into fully functional proteins.
