| Research Abstract |
Various biomolecules, especially proteins, form nano structures by self-assembly, resulting in unique fuctions in nature. Here we have artificially designed tertiary structures, e.g. the fullerene-like cage, by combining helical units. Then we have succeeded in obtaining novel functions such as enzymatic activity, digenstion of amyloid fibrils, aggregating cells without cytotoxity, and binding to rare metals. These functions are expected to resolve serious issues such as diseases and depletion of natural resources, which address the needs of the modern aging society.
