Research theme
Our research purpose is to understand the biological process based on the three-dimensional structures of biomacromolecules. We determine their structures by X-ray crystallography, which is the most powerful method to solve the structures. Our targets are the proteins related DNA, RNA and nucleotides, immunological system and signal transduction. Up to date, we have determined many protein structures as shown in figures and understood the structural basis of protein function.
