Biochemical and Molecular Biological S tudies on Isoprenoid

为了促进和刺激参与生理上重要的类异戊二烯生物合成的酶的机理研究，我们邀请了五位活跃在这一领域的杰出的美国研究人员与他们交换信息。根据讨论结果，开始了以下三项联合研究：1）通过光亲和标记研究异戊二烯基转移酶的活性中心合作者：G.D.Prestwich（犹他州大学）2）研究香叶基香叶酸受体合作者：Y.Shidoji（岐阜大学）3）研究天然橡胶生物合成中涉及的酶合作者：Y.Tanaka（东京农工大学）

In order to promote and stimulate the mechanistic studies of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of physiologically important isoprenoids, we invited five eminent American researchers working actively in this field to exchange information with them. Based on the result of discussion, three pieces of joint-research have been started as follows :1) Studies on the active center of prenyltransferase by means of photoaffinity labeling Collaborator : G.D.Prestwich (Utah University)2) Studies on the geranylgeranoate receptor Collabortor : Y.Shidoji (Gifu University)3) Studies on enzymens involved in the biosynthesis of natural rubber Collaborator : Y.Tanaka (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology)
