Biophysical Chemistry
Professor:Yuki Sudo
In the morning, we wake up with sunlight arising from the horizon and go to the office or school. On the way, we see colorful plants and animals. On the way back home, we can be fascinated by the incredible view of a setting sun. At night, beautiful fireworks in the sky give us hope for tomorrow. Thus, light is one of the most important stimuli for organisms.
Our laboratory is working on the photoreactive membrane protein rhodopsin to realize “light as medicine”.
