Purpose of Research
For over two decades, we have been studying the molecular mechanism of ATP synthase by single molecule technology. Through our research, we have been creating novel and innovative technologies such as femtoliter reactor array, that is currently utilized in digital bioassays such as ELISA, and ratiometric fluorescent ATP sensor proteins. Development of these new technologies is motivated more by our own curiosity rather than the need of the society. These technologies are widely used now and have been further developed by other researchers or companies.
