| Research Abstract |
To elucidate biological functions, there are two ways of analysis. One is the information and structure based analysis such as genome science or structural biology. The other is the chemical biology based analysis, in which proteins essential for biological process are identified using their specific inhibitors. The purposes of the present research project are to generate chemicals ("bioprobes") useful for the latter type of study, which regulate the signal transduction pathway in cells, to identify biological target molecules of the bioprobes and to mine and analyze novel molecular targets. We have conducted the project for these purposes and have obtained many important results as follows.
