[OMC15-03] Manipulation of membrane molecules in the lipid bilayer by optical trapping

*Yasushi Tanimoto¹, Shunya Moriyama¹, Kyoko Masui¹, Chie Hosokawa¹ (1. Osaka Metropolitan University)

We study the diffusion properties of membrane molecules in an optical trap using artificial membranes to elucidate the optical trapping dynamics of cell surface molecules, which is useful for biological membrane research.
