Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a high-pressure microscope that enables to observe the structure and function of protein molecules. In this research project, we have studied the conformational changes of protein filaments at high-pressure. By using this system, we were successful to change the helical structure of flagellar filaments and microtubule dynamics.
