| Research Abstract |
Single molecule imaging techniques enable us to measure and regulate movements of proteins or DNA. Using these techniques, I characterized E. coli UvrD helicase and RuvB motor protein, which promote branch migration of Holliday junction DNA. I also measured association and dissociation rates of Pyrrole-Imidazole polyamides and calculated their model structures to clarify the relationship between the DNA binding kinetics and Pyrrole-Imidazole polyamide structures.
