| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is development of a biosensor, which can observe biomolecular interactions, combined with a unit to investigate effects of mechanical force on biomolecules. In this study, a flow-type quartz-crystal microbalance, which can detect biomolecular interactions as a mass change, was developed as a base device combined with various units easily. In addition, kinetic analysis of RNA chaperon Hfq was performed to discus the contribution of molecular mechanics in the biomolecular interactions.
