【Who We Are】

Welcome to CSY Structural Biology and Photobiology Lab at

Department of Biochemical Science and Technology (BST)

National Taiwan University

# 我們是在國立臺灣大學生化科技系的結構與感光生物學實驗室。

# 按一鍵，全盤瞭解我們在做什麼：

【What We Do】

Our lab dedicates in studying:

1. Proteins involve in photobiology of all life forms.  

2. G-protein signaling in plant and higer life form.

3. Biomimicry using light-triggered proteins.

4. Microbial rhodopsins application in Biotechnology

Currently, microbial photoreceptors are our main focus.

# 主要研究的方向，是以微生物的感光蛋白質，或更正確地說，是微生物的「眼睛」，來做基礎生理和令人驚喜連連的生化、生物科技、生命科學、生物醫學應用。

# 想像力是唯一的限制範圍。

【Tech We Use】

The technology adopted for our study include:

• General microbiology culture and assays
• Membrane and soluble protein mutation, expression, purification
• Protein crystal growing
• UV-vis spectrophotometer
• Fluorescence probes
• Laser-flashed photolysis system
• X-ray diffraction for structural resolving
• ITO-basede photochemcial signal measurement
• Our newly designed phototaxis motion analysis system for microbes
• Ion-transportation including light-driven proton and chloride transportation (photocurrent) measurements for ion-type microbial rhodopsins

【Make Them Useful】

In addition to basic scientific research, coverting our results into pratical biotechnology is a high piroity to us, too. 

This lab is a fair workplace. International students are welcome.
