摘要:
The present invention relates to a variant luciferase having improved luminescence sustention when compared with a wild type luciferase; a variant luciferase gene encoding the amino acid sequence of this luciferase; a recombinant DNA characterized in that it is constructed by insertion of this variant luciferase gene into a vector DNA; a transformant or a transductant comprising this recombinant DNA; and a method for producing a variant luciferase, which comprises culturing the above transformant or transductant in a medium and collecting the variant luciferase from the culture product.
摘要:
A method for measuring stains of a test sample by measuring adenosine phosphates. Luminescence of the adenosine phosphates is induced by a luminescent reagent (33) containing an ATP regenerating enzyme. The level or quantity of luminescence is detected by a silicon photodiode (5) to thereby measure the stains.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a creatine amidinohydrolase having the following physicochemical properties: (a) hydrolyzing 1 mole of creatine to generate 1 mole of sarcosine and 1 mole of urea, (b) having a substrate specificity to creatine, (c) having an optimum pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0, particularly a pH of about 6.5, (d) having a stable pH ranging from 4.0 to 11.0, (e) having an optimum temperature ranging from 50 to 55°C, and (f) having a molecular weight of approximately 92,000 daltons (as measured by gel filtration); and to a method for producing a creatine amidinohydrolase, which comprises, culturing a microorganism having an ability to produce the creatine amidinohydrolase, and recovering the creatine amidinohydrolase from the obtained culture. The creatine amidinohydrolase of the invention is characterized by being insusceptible to bilirubin when measuring creatinine, since its optimum pH is in the weakly acidic range.
摘要:
The present invention provides a koji mold having increased protease activity and peptidase activity relative to a parent strain, a method of breeding the koji mold, and a method of manufacturing a flavor enhancer using the koji mold. More specifically, the present invention provides:
(1) a koji mold having increased protease activity and peptidase activity relative to a parent strain obtained by transformation using a protease gene and a peptidase gene. (2) a method of breeding the above koji mold which comprises transforming a parent strain of koji mold using a protease gene and a peptidase gene, and then selecting a transformant having higher protease activity and peptidase activity relative to a parent strain. (3) a method of manufacturing a flavor enhancer which comprises allowing a culture product of the above koji mold to act on a protein.
摘要:
A health diet for preventing life-habit diseases (adult diseases) is provided. The health diet is prepared by directly encapsulating or tableting an organic solvent extract of soy sauce cakes or an aqueous alkali extract of a soy sauce oil, or blending the extracts with a diet.
摘要:
There are provided a method and a kit for testing microbial drug resistance and a method and a kit for measuring minimum inhibitory concentration for a microorganism, in which highly reliable evaluation results are obtained by preventing false evaluation based on false-resistance of microorganisms to a drug. The method of testing microbial drug sensitivity comprises inoculating and culturing a microorganism in a drug-containing medium to obtain a medium containing the microorganism morphologically transformed by the influence of the drug, adding an ATP elution agent and an ATP deletion agent to the culture to delete the eluted ATP and other ATP in the medium, and comparing the amount of ATP in the microorganism remaining in the culture with the amount of ATP in the microorganism separately cultured in a medium not containing said drug and treated in the same manner as above. The method of measuring minimum inhibitory concentration for a microorganism is carried out in the same manner as above.
摘要:
In order to prevent or treat cataracts, present invention features 3(2H)-furanone derivatives having 3(2H)-furanone skeleton as a main structure and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical preparations containing the derivatives and/or the salts thereof, treatment methods of cataracts, and their use. The 3(2H)-furanone derivatives have excellent effects for the prevention and/or treatment of cataracts, for instance, senile cataracts caused by oxidation disorder. Particularly, the pharmaceutical preparations have good effect for the prevention and/or treatment of cataracts when they are administrated as ophtalmics.
