(1) A catalyst composition comprising a crosslinked organic polymer and a palladium catalyst, wherein the catalyst is physically supported on the crosslinked organic polymer; (2) a process for producing the catalyst composition (1), characterized by evenly mixing a linear organic polymer having crosslinkable functional groups with a palladium catalyst in a solvent in which the linear organic polymer is soluble, subsequently precipitating the resultant composition, and causing the crosslinkable functional groups contained in the precipitate to undergo a crosslinking reaction; (3) a method of allyl-position-shifting reaction, characterized by causing a nucleophilic agent to act on an allylcarbonic ester in the presence of the catalyst composition (1); and (4) a method of alcohol oxidation, characterized by causing the catalyst composition (1) to act on an alcohol. The catalyst composition has no fear of spontaneous ignition and can be handled safely and easily. It is extremely useful as a catalyst for various chemical reactions. It undergoes no decrease in activity even when used repeatedly. The metal catalyst is not released from the polymer support.

摘要:
The present inventors identified the causative gene of pyl mutant, which is mutable and shows a lowered chlorophyll accumulation, and discovered that a new type of transposon classified to Ac/Ds type is involved in the mutation. It is confirmed for the first time that the Ac/Ds type transposon nDart (SEQ ID NO: 1) in rice has transposon activity under normal cultivation conditions. Furthermore, an autonomous element Dart was discovered by analyzing said Ac/Ds type transposon.
摘要:
A cell separation apparatus which do not damage a cell sample, prevent the exhaustion of an electrode to which an electric voltage is applied in the separation of a cell, and does not cause the clogging of channels over a long period of term for cell separation, is provided. The cell separation apparatus of the present invention comprises a means for moving a cell within a cell separating space by applying an external force to cells in the cell separating space from outside, and channels for separating and discharging the cell, which thus does not damage a cell sample and prevents the exhaustion of an electrode due to its electrolysis. As a means for applying an external force, a gel electrode containing electrolyte is preferred to apply an electric voltage to a cell separating space. The cell separation apparatus may further comprise a filter disposed at upstream of a channel through which a sample to be introduced into a cell separating space is passed, whereby impurities can be captured so that the clogging of channels is prevented.
