3SGA Creation of supramolecular biomembrane by the bottom-up self-assembly:Where material science meets biophysics

Fri. Sep 30, 2022 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room G (Hakodate Citizen Hall Small HallA)

Organizers:Kazuma Yasuhara(NAIST),Kenichi Morigaki(Kobe Univ.)

In biological systems, unique material properties of the membrane play central roles. The two-dimensional fluid and compartmentalization are essentially important in a variety of biological functions such as signal transduction and energy conversion. Bottom-up approaches based on the self-assembly of materials are promising to reproduce the unique membrane structures and functions, providing insights into the machinery of the biological membrane and enabling to exploit applications in real-life. This symposium will introduce unique studies to create novel artificial biomembranes using not only conventional phospholipids but also synthetic polymers, nanoparticles, and their hybrids to explore the interface between biophysics and material science.
