Targeted Proteins Research Program (2018-2012)
The Targeted Proteins Research Program is a national project promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan. The program aims to reveal the structure and function of proteins that have great importance in both academic research and industrial application.
We contributed the project in 4 targeted proteins and development of X-ray structure determination techniques.
The detail is described here.
