Title (Japanese): 絶乾状態の酵素が加熱過程で起こる副反応や分子構造変化の解明及び抑制する方法の開発

Overview: This project investigates the side reactions and molecular structural changes that occur when anhydrous-state (bone-dry) enzymes are subjected to heat treatment. By elucidating these mechanisms, the research aims to develop strategies to suppress undesired changes, enabling the design of more heat-stable enzyme-embedded biodegradable polymer materials.
