Research
Overall, we are interested in the structure/function relationship of transmembrane proteins, particularly in retinal-binding proteins. There are three major projects undergoing as below.
1.Structural studies of leptosphaeria rhodopsin, proteorhodopsin, bacteriorhodopsin, and channelrhodopsin by crystallography and electron paramagnetic resonance
2.Ion transport mechanism in retinal-binding proteins by time resolved absorption and photocurrent analysis
3.Functional implications of retinal-binding proteins in biosensor and biomaterial fields
