| Abstract | We are studying integrations of micro/nano machining technologies (MEMS/NEMS technologies) and biomaterials. One of research direction is to produce tools for bioengineering researches, and the other is to integrate biomaterials in MEMS/NEMS to emerge a new function that could not be achieved by MEMS/NEMS only. As the tools, I will introduce Total Internal Refrection Fluorescent Microscopy (TIRFM) system for on-chip detection, and a Micro Total Analysis Systems (MicroTAS) for F1-ATPase analysis. As the latter integration, motility of kinesin and dynein has been integrated with MEMS or microfluidic system. At micrometer scale, polarities of multiple microtubules (MTs) were oriented by share force in a microfluidic channel for directional nanotransport. Using nanostructures we could focus on single MT filament with polarity control. Such MicroTAS and bio-hybrid system will be key factors to realize nano-scale system integration at the molecular scale. |
