| Proteins, vital functions for life, form
biogenic systems by self-assembling and dynamically interacting
with each other. They do vital activities: energy/information
transduction, reproduction, etc. To study the mechanisms of
how biomolecular systems have acquired this high level of
functionality, we developed a techniques of imaging and manipulating
a single molecule at a precision of nanometers which can clarifying
the ingenious motion algorithms of the systems by expanding
theories based on experimental data. |

| Biomolecular machineries showed high level
of autonomy and flexibilities, which are not feasible for
artificial ones, and revealed extremely high efficiency on
their work and movements unique to biomolecules. To clarify
the mechanisms of more advanced biogenic systems, we could
build the foundations of further developments by accumulating
solid data. |
