	Innovative Scientific Research Area Water plays the main role in ATP energy transfer
	It is known that adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is the medium for the supply and demand of energy in living cell systems. However, the effective qualities of ATP have not been fully clarified to date. That is, a complete molecular theory explaining the dynamics of the transfer of chemical energy in living organisms has not been established. The aim of this research field is investigate the fundamental themes related to ATP, covering both the fields of material science and life science.

	This research project will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2013. With our members's cooperation, our research had been rated highly by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Grant of Sciemcific. Thank you for your cooperation.
