About our Strategy

Our aim is to chemically understand the design and action principles of molecular systems, which is composed of several protein molecules or their domains. Enzymatic reactions, transport of allocrites, and structural formation/fluctuation of proteins are our target phenomena. Novel time-resolved measurements equipped with microfluidic devices are developed and applied to analyze the molecular mechanism.
