Biophysics Division

Division info:

To the main areas of scientific activity of our department belong investrigations of:
structure, dynamics and specific intermolecular interactions of proteins, nucleic acids and their components, influence of physico-chemical properties of mutagenic, antivirial and antitumor agents on the activity of biological structures, physical basis of molecular mechanisms of gene expression and regulation: initiation of protein biosynthesis, electron and proton transfer, enzymatic phosphorylation and phosphorolysis, protein folding.

We use both experimental and theoretical methods as: molecular spectroscopy (UV-VIS, fluorescence emission, stopped-flow, NMR, CD), X-ray diffraction, molecular photophysics, chemistry, enzymology, genetic engineering, classical, Brownian, and quantum molecular dynamics, molecular modeling, quantum chemistry.
