A research group led by Associate Professor Katsumasa Irie of the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry for Drug Design, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wakayama Medical University, has determined the precise atomic structure and interactions between amino acids in an ion channel that regulates cellular excitability, including neuronal signal transmission. Using high-precision X-ray crystallographic analysis at beamline BL09U of the 3 GeV Advanced Synchrotron Radiation Facility NanoTerasu and the large-scale synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8, the researchers have comprehensively elucidated the molecular mechanism underlying the gradual braking of ion channel activity, solving a long-standing scientific mystery.

On September 24, a group of 280 students from Kanagawa Prefectural Tama High School visited NanoTerasu as part of their school trip. The students toured the facility in four separate groups.

Although NanoTerasu normally accommodates up to 50 visitors per tour, we were able to welcome groups of up to 80 students at a time by carefully coordinating the introductory presentation in the Visitor Hall with tours of the experimental hall.

For the experimental hall tour, each group was further divided into smaller groups of approximately 20 students, allowing them to see NanoTerasu’s state-of-the-art equipment at close range.

This was the first time NanoTerasu had hosted such a large group of visitors. Thanks to careful advance preparation, including assigning students to groups beforehand, the tours proceeded smoothly and were completed successfully.
