| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we developed a novel nano/micro-fabricated tool for processing single biomolecule for the application in the research field of genome analysis. The technique for fabricating nano/micro structures was developed, which enables us to control the visibility of the structures under a fluorescence microscope. Their characteristics including the yield of fabrication and the trapping force were evaluated. We also verified the immobilization of proteins on their surface by surface plasmon resonance sensing. The results suggest the successful protein immobilization and the functionalization for a protein-modified nano/micro tool.
