Outline of Final Research Achievements

This field has taken on the challenge of elucidating the balance between the "utilization" and "dissipation" of light energy, based on the new key concept of "proton driving force. The research in this research area was coordinated by the general research group, which promoted the sharing of research resources and technologies by utilizing the two centers established to conduct joint research. As a result, research on elementary processes, control theory, structures, and systems has progressed beyond expectations, and the total number of publication has reached 505 papers. In addition, we invited and exchanged researchers from overseas, sent young researchers abroad, and held several symposiums with leading researchers in the field to foster discussions. Outreach activities were conducted on these activities through symposia, newsletters, SNS, and other means.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本領域の目指した「プロトン駆動力」を中心に据える新しい光合成の考え方は、トレードオフが複雑に絡み合う光合成反応をシステムとして捉えるアカデミアの育成であり、従来、個々の因子の反応に注目してきた光合成研究の次元を一段階上げるものである。このような研究は、世界的に見ても大きな研究チームに育った例はない。本領域は、広い分野から研究者が集まり、チラコイド膜規模で分子集団のダイナミクスを可視化する技術、一分子で複合体の活性をモニターする技術、構造から分子応答を予測する計算科学など、我が国光合成研究の優位性を後世に繋げる土台を築いた。
