AboutAbout the lab
Synthesizing compounds based on organic chemistry
The Tsukamoto Lab studies the synthesis of biologically related compounds and polymer compounds, based on organic chemistry.
The compounds it works with include nucleosides and nucleotides with useful biological activity, and polyimides.
In collaboration with others, the lab aims to create organic friction modifiers to improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles and machine tools.
The lab is part of the Life Informatics Division in the Department of Complex Systems Science, Graduate School of Informatics.
Key terms
- Nucleoside
- One of the building blocks of nucleic acids, a molecule in which a base is bonded to a sugar. One with a phosphate group attached is called a nucleotide.
- Polyimide
- A type of polymer formed by linking molecules that contain imide bonds.
- Organic friction modifier
- An organic compound used to adjust the friction between parts.
