Micro-Bioreactor Mimicking a Cellular Environment
Masahiko Hase, Ayako Yamada, Tsutomu Hamada +1
We report that a cell-sized water droplet (CWD) with a diameter of several tens of microns can serve as a micro-biochemical reactor. Since the droplet inner surface is covered by a…

Transporting of a Cell-Sized Phospholipid Vesicle Across Water/Oil Interface
Masahiko Hase, Ayako Yamada, Tsutomu Hamada +1
When a cell-sized water droplet, with a diameter of several tens of micro meter, is placed in oil containing phospholipids, a stable cell-sized vesicle is spontaneously formed as a…

All-or-none switching of transcriptional activity on single DNA molecules caused by a discrete conformational transition
Ayako Yamada, Koji Kubo, Tonau Nakai +2
Recently, it has been confirmed that long duplex DNA molecules with sizes larger than several tens of kilo-base pairs (kbp), exhibit a discrete conformational transition from an el…
