The major aims in our laboratory are to clarify the biomolecule functions related to human diseases, proteinous toxin and food sciences from insights of three-dimensional protein structure. Then, we are applying/developing new technology using features of their biomolecules.

A multidisciplinary methods such as X-ray crystal and electron microscopic analyses of the biomolecules, thermodynamic analysis, molecular cloning of the proteins, isolation, purification and structure analysis of proteins isolated from natural sources, elutidation of enzymatic reaction with HPLC and LC/MS are employed for our researches.

If you have any questions, please let Prof. Tanaka know.
