UV exposure of DNA molecules induces serious DNA lesions. The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyase repairs CPD-type-lesions by using the energy of visible light. Two chromophores for different roles have been found in this enzyme family; ...

The initiator protein RepE of the mini-F plasmid in Escherichia coli plays an essential role in DNA replication, which is regulated by the molecular chaperone-dependent oligomeric state (monomer or dimer). Crosslinking, ultracentrifugation, and ge...
<p>Microgravity environment has been used to obtain high-quality crystals. Strong magnetic force produced by a superconducting magnet can cancel out the gravity force, enabling construction of quasi-microgravity environment on earth. We developed ...
