title: [Nano -level imaging for analyzing protein structure and function].
abstract: The present manuscript outlines the nano-level imaging project, which is under promotion by the three national research institutes and supported by a research grant from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (nano-001). This research project targets collecting fundamental information regarding comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular, neurological and the other disorders, developing new diagnostic and therapeutic methods by visualizing protein structure and function in atomic(sub-nano level) or molecular (nano-level) resolution. The results of the current projects will be extended into drug design, clinical diagnostic technology and medical materials in near future.
