In this journal my research career and a short essay associated with my study are described. As a graduate student in master’s course I carried out a synthesis of Muramic acid-6-phosphate. After working as a research fellow in the United States, I returned to Japan. Then I started a purification of Lectins and their primary structural analyses. Just around this time a protein sequencer was first developed and it could be possible to perform primary structure analyses of 21 amino acids in one night. It was a breakthrough event at that time.
