X-ray Free Electron Laser Priority Strategy Program by MEXT (2012-2013)

“Development of Structure Determination Method for Biological Macromolecular Assemblies using Spherical Particles”

We worked on development of structure determination method for biological macromolecular assemblies using spherical particles using X-ray free electron laser by SALCA. JAXA-

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.
