AboutAbout the lab
Analyzing motor proteins with cryo-electron microscopy
The Electron Structural Biology Lab uses cryo-electron microscopy to analyze the structure and function of motor proteins.
The lab belongs to the Integrated Protein Science Division of the Institute for Protein Research.
In the lab introductions of the Graduate School of Science, Department of Biological Sciences, it is listed under the name "Electron Beam Structural Biology Lab."
Key terms
- Cryo-electron microscopy
- A microscope that uses an electron beam to observe samples in a frozen state. It is used to study the shapes of proteins.
- Motor proteins
- Proteins that use energy to generate movement. The lab studies their structure and function.
