Akira Asakura (あさくらしょう, from 1928 to March 16, 2016) is a Japanese biophysicist. I won Asahi Prize in a study on bacteria flagellar formation in 1973. Professor emeritus at Nagoya University. A doctor of science. An immediate pupil of Fumio Osawa.

Study

In 1954, I proposed a depletion layer theory of the protein interaction [¹]. As for this theory, the effectiveness by France and the Netherlands researcher was recognized after 2002 [²]

I shift a study theme to molecular mechanism of the biological motion and succeed in polymerization, depolymerization in the in vitro of the flagellin which is bacterial flagella protein and want to study it biophysically afterwards [³]. Furthermore, through flagellar polymorphic discovery, I led the world by seasonal polymorphism of the protein, elucidation of the molecular mechanism of the bacteria exercise.

Nagoya University, the molecular biology research facility where I belonged to had globally well-known Fumio Osawa, Reiji Okazaki (detector of the Okazaki fragment), Kinnichiro Miura and bred generous unique study culture and was molecular biological gathering place of ambitious men. Hirokazu Hotani, Hiroaki Kagawa, Katsuhiko Shimada, Ritsu Kamiya, Shinichi Aizawa, these multi dimensions, a superior biophysicist including Etsuko Muto were produced from Asakura learning under.
