We hope you are interested in Nanomechanical studies of biomolecules.
Biomacromolecules including proteins are functional at the molecular level. These molecules are excellent functional nanomaterials in nature. Biomaterials and biomolecules are studied as nano-machines in our group in order to unravel the mechanism of them, which is a different approach from conventional biochemistry and molecular-biology. We will develop practicable nanotechnology for biomaterials that is required for the new period of post-genome and post-proteome days. Application of the technology will start in medical, pharmaceutical and physiological fields as examination, evaluation and development techniques, and will open a way to develop novel nanodevice based on biomolecules.
