Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we attempted to elucidate the detailed mechanism of heterogeneous energy conversion of FoF1 ATP synthase by developing novel analytical systems. 1, We established the platform to analyze aforementioned heterogeneous energy conversion by developing novel analytical technologies including artificial cell-membrane microsystems. 2, We elucidated the role of regulatory subunit, epsilon subunit, on heterogeneous energy conversion by single molecule manipulation using our original magnetic tweezers.
