Research Abstract |
The second Germany-Japan Workshop on Bioscience, which was jointly organized by Professor Karl Decker, Freiburg University and Professor Masaru Taniguchi, Chiba University, was held in Titisee, Germany, May 17-20, 1990. Thirteen scientists from Germany and twelve scientists from Japan along with twenty observers from Germany have attended the workshop. Topics included physico-chemical approaches to static and dynamic structures of proteins, molecular structural analyses of biological functions of a variety of proteins, and analyses by molecular biology of protein functions. Stimulating and fruitful discussion has been exchanged between pariticipants from both countries. This has undoubtedly opened up a number of new possibilities of collaboration of scientists from the two countries for a better understanding of the structure-function relationship of a number of interesting proteins. UK/Japan Bioelectronics Workshop organized by Professor Karube and Ms. Dent was held in Tokyo, Sept. 17-

19, 1990. The following topics were discussed : Applications of new techniques in the field of biotechnology have now become the focus of attention in the industry. This can be seen from the veritable explosion of research being performed using the functions of organisms to produce useful materials, and for energy conversion and environmental protect on as well as other fields. Particularly noticeable is the research into applying bio-functions to the field of electronics. From the point of view of electronics, there has always been a fascination with information processing in the brain, nervous transmission, energy conversion, receipt and transfer of information by biomembranes and the transportation of substances and many other phenomena. The use of these functions in models hold promise for the development of extremely efficient information conversion and transmission system, energy conversion and production system and of sensors. The chemical reactions in organisms proceed smoothly because of the action of catalysts such as enzymes and microorganisms. There are specific for chemical substances and by forming complexes with them promote their reactions. These enzyme reactions consume the chemical substances and result in the formation of products which can measured by electrodes and other devices. The enzymes and these devices may be combined to produce a biosensor with extremely good selectivity. There is also much interest in developing a biocomputer that can learn and deduce in the same way as the human brain, and the field of artificial intelligence will receive a boost from the appearance of such a device.
