| Research Abstract |
We constructed self-assembled membranes and particles using amphipathic protein, hydrophobins. We, then, established the enzyme based anchoring methods to connect biological molecules, such as DNA aptamer, peptide and protein, with amphipathic protein-based self-assembly membrane and particle. The system can be utilized for construction protein microsphere having molecular recognition ability. Furthermore, this protein based microsphere can be applied for an active drug release system induced by biomarker molecule in human body.
