Biomolecule quantum mechanics

Search physicochemical foundations for the specificity of interaction between components of nucleoprotein complexes; establishment of the role of tautomerism and conformational variability of nucleic acid components. Research by computational physics methods of physicochemical properties of DNA, RNA, their components and protein-nucleic complexes; search for physicochemical mechanisms responsible of DNA, RNA stability.
