| Research Abstract |
We investigated the subjects related with the construction of 3D structures of metal complex arrays mainly from protein structural science point of view, where the targets were to gain deeper insights on their secondary structures and to develop the methods to make multiple secondary structures couple. Through the researches we found that a heteremetallic sequence can stabilize a helical conformation of the metal complex arrays compared with the corresponding homometallic sequences. Moreover, we also successfully established a new synthetic approach for the construction of sequence-controlled metal complex arrays that have molecular weights comparable to small proteins.
