| Research Abstract |
DNA-binding proteins have been attracting attention in the field of medical and life sciences and applied to the targeting and transcriptional control of particular genes. In this project, a Zn(II)-sensor protein, which binds to DNA, is designed by utilizing Antennafinger (Ant-F). Ant-F is an artificial protein, which induce structural change by binding Zn(II). This research will provide a basic tool, which could lead to the development of the technique for the detection of Zn(II) by transcriptional activity.
