Our goal is to understand the structure and mechanism of transport proteins and to reveal the physiological role of transport system from the structural point of view. Reliable method to make two-dimensional crystal is desired to understand native conformation of membrane proteins at high resolution. To understand the mechanism of transporters appropriate methods including various spectroscopic techniques need to be applied. Furthermore we will push forward the method of electron tomography to figure out the overall transport system.
