Protein Biophysics Laboratory, Department of Life Science, Rikkyo University
Welcome to the web page of Yasuyuki Kato-Yamada at Rikkyo University!
1. Overview
Our study is focusing on the structure-function relationship of proteins, especially of ATP synthase.
2. Research themes
-Biochemical analysis of the regulatory mechanism of ATP synthase by the epsilon subunit.
-Single molecular analysis of the regulatory mechanism of ATP synthase by the epsilon subunit.
-Identification of novel ATP binding proteins.
-Functional characterization of ABC transporters.
etc.
3. Publications (link to PubMed)
-NEW Kadoya, F.et al., "ATP binding to the epsilon subunit of thermophilic ATP synthase is crucial for efficient coupling of ATPase and proton pump activities" (2011) Biochem. J. has been accepted for publication (2011.4).
-Please read Haruyama, T.et al., "Inhibition of thermophilic F1-ATPase by the epsilon subunit takes different path from the ADP-Mg inhibition" in BIOPHYSICS (not included in PubMed, but freely available)
-Awarded 2008 Young Investigator Award from the Japanese Biochemical Society.
