| Venue | Seminar room B/C, 4th floor of Sousei Building |
| Speaker | Associate Professor Yuichi Hiratsuka (School of Materials Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) |
| Title | "Motor-protein-powered Biodisplay" |
| Summary |
Proteins are appealing materials because they not only have some functions at the molecular level, but they are also able to generate a variety of functions depending on how they are combined. Recently, in reference to cells (melanophore) pertaining to ichthyic metachrosis, we have successfully developed a color-changing system by building protein molecules. With a focus on protein-powered displays, this seminar introduces micromachines driven by motor proteins that we formed to date. |
