MESSAGE
Development of technology to measure dynamics of biological macromolecules with high spatio-temporal resolution
The three-dimensional structure of proteins that support life phenomena is deeply related to their functions. Using quantum beams such as X-ray free electron lasers, synchrotron radiation, and electron beams, we can visualize chemical and structural changes occurring in proteins as "moving images".
Introduction to Research
Protein structure analysis by X-ray free electron lasers, Development of protein dynamic structural analysis tools, Activation mechanism of G-protein coupled receptors, Rational molecular design based on dynamic structural information.

Objective
We aim to reveal the switching mechanism of light-sensitive proteins and the reaction mechanism of enzymes, and to design and create protein molecules with new functions based on precise information from dynamic structural analysis.
