| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Within this subject, by constructing the model of cell membranes, the effect of electronic charges contained in the membrane and proteins around membranes on membrane structure and the interaction between membrane and proteins was experimentally revealed. Irradiation of X-ray onto the membrane model generates the reflection of X-ray (XRR: X-ray reflectivity) and emission of fluorescent X-ray from atoms (GIXF: grazing incident X-ray fluorescence). Measurement of these signal intensities allowed us to determine the distribution of charges within Angstrom accuracy, which is in the order of the typical size scale of atoms.
