Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Precise analysis of the three-dimensional structures of various functional biopolymers is extremely important for understanding biological phenomena in the ecology. In this study, we focused on the further improvement of the "lipid cubic method", which is a method for producing such a single crystal of a biopolymer. In this method, we believe that it is essential to deeply understand and elucidate the bicontinuous cubic liquid crystals that are the medium of crystallization, and newly design and synthesize the molecules that form the liquid-crystalline phases. Their self-organizing behaviors were analyzed by making full use of experiments and simulations.
