Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed an optical microscopic single-molecule method based on the scattering imaging of plasmonic metal nanoparticles, and achieved atomic-level (angstrom-level) localization precision and microsecond time resolution. In addition, the developed method has been successfully applied to linear and rotary molecular motors such as kinesin and V1-ATPase to elucidate their chemo-mechanical coupling mechanism and elementary process of motion in detail. Furthermore, we have developed a dual-color, high-speed/high-precision single-molecule measurement method using silver and gold nanoparticles as probes, and a method estimating chemical state-dependent free energy profile from the single-molecule trajectory of the movement of molecular motor.
