| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To realize molecular robots with ‘sensor functions’, our group studied the construction of ‘multilevel molecular information conversion devices’, which can detect various molecular input signals at the level of a single molecule and can convert them to intended internal information. We first constructed an artificial receptor-type molecular sensor device and then achieved a ‘sense’ of molecular robots. In addition, we constructed asymmetric complex-shaped bodies for molecular robot that can load molecular sensor devices. Furthermore, we studied theoretical research of chemical reactions with small number of molecules for noise reduction in molecular information sensing. To apply molecular sensor devices to in vivo systems, we constructed RNA-type molecular robots that can detect molecular information and convert it in cells. As a result, these studies contributed to the aim of this Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, Molecular Robotics.
