Biography
Masahide Terazima has his expertise in physical chemistry for elucidating reaction mechanism. In particular, his current research interests are studies of chemical reaction dynamics of biological proteins. He has been developing new methods for direct detection of energy and conformation of reactive species in time-domain. Furthermore, he has succeeded in measurement of molecular diffusion processes in time-domain. He has discovered that the diffusion coefficient is sensitive to protein conformations, so that this technique can be used for tracing dynamical conformation change as well as intermolecular interaction changes.
