摘要：
Bioinformatics (computational biology) has become a powerful approach in analyzing the booming biological data, understanding the fundamental biological processes and reshaping the way biological research is being done. In this talk, I will introduce the basic concept of Bioinformatics and its potential applications in various academic and industrial fields such as genome sequencing, drug design and public health. Bioinformatics is a multidiscipline involving Information Science and Biology. The important role of Information Science in Bioinformatics will be discussed. As a case of bioinformatics study, I will show our research on potassium (K) channels focusing on the gating mechanism as well as the interaction between the channels and small signaling molecules. Some other interesting studies about nanomedicine, G-protein-coupled receptor, sweet-tasted receptor etc. will be also involved.
