Kotaro Nakanishi
Former Faculty
Assistant Professor
Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry
Research Description:
The Nakanishi group uses X-ray crystallography as our primary approach, to understand the molecular basis for biological processes, especially gene expression regulation by non-coding RNAs. Hypotheses based on our structures are thoroughly verified by biophysical and biochemical approaches. This way has discovered new mechanisms as well as new interesting biological problems that the other methods have difficulty to reveal.
