| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the sodium ion (Na+) transport mechanism by Na+-pumping rhodopsin (NaR) found from marine bacteria in our recent research. For that purpose, especially, we focused the view point of "function", "dynamics" and "structure". As the result, we revealed that NaR pumps Li+ and H+ in addition to Na+ in according to the environment, the reaction process relating to the transport activity, and the place of Na+ binding site. The results relating this study were reported in eight papers and fourty-two presentation in conferences, and three newspaper reports were conducted.
