| Research Abstract |
We have developed optical nano-instrumentation for observation of biomolecular kinetics and molecular recognition mechanism by using novel optical nano-materials, such as metallic nano-particles, semiconductor quantum dots and metallic nano-clusters. We have also established fabrication methods of metallic nano-structures e. g., nano-dimers and nano-clusters which are suitable for observation of biomolecular dynamics besides optimization of nano-structures and development of chemical modifications.
