| Research Abstract |
In melanopore, a cell functioned as a camouflage, microtubules form aster-like networks,and a color of the cell body is changed by transporting pigment granules along the network by motor proteins. In this study, we realized the aggregation and dispersion of the pigments by motor protein in the micro-chamber using more simple principle and system from the native melanophore, and challenged to create the regulation system of its optical device driven by protein molecules.
