| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The joint project between the amoeba robot team and other teams developed a giant liposome based amoeba-type molecular robot prototype whose shape can be changed by DNA signals by means of integrating various element technologies including molecular actuators and molecular control systems. As for the molecular actuators, the team developed (1) molecular crutch which control the connection between giant liposome and molecular motors, (2) photo-induced growth system of peptide nanofibers propelling giant liposomes with comet tail-like mechanism, (3) reversible morphological control system of tubulin-encapsulating giant liposomes by hydrostatic pressure, and (4) calcium concentration dependent morphological changing microtubule networks. As for the molecular control systems, the team developed (5)photo-sensitive DNA strands attached on microtubules, (6) microtubule motion pattern controlling system, and (7) particle-based real-time simulation system to reproduce the motion pattern.
