| Research Abstract |
Proteins change their conformations in response to various kinds of stimuli. To reveal the intramolecular interaction that induces the protein conformational change, the amino acid residues which are responsible for the protein conformational changes of photoreceptor proteins in bacteria and animal retina were identified. Based on these findings, the protein conformation was mechanically controlled by a linker whose length is changed by photo-isomerization to regulate the activity of the protein.
