摘要:
Disclosed is an antioxidant which can exhibit a higher antioxidant ability than known antioxidative peptides. The antioxidant according to the present invention comprises mimosine and/or a mimosine-containing pcptide(s). The mimosine-containing peptide is a peptide which comprises at least one mimosine residue in its amino acid sequence. Mimosine has stronger antioxidant potency than known antioxidative tripeptides even when used as it is alone, and therefore is useful as an antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant action of a peptide can be increased by introducing mimosine thereinto, thereby obtaining a peptide with higher antioxidant potency than the original one.
摘要:
A substrate for biochips which has a high probe loading amounts and a uniform immobilization density, and which further has a high detection sensitivity and a high reproducibility by preventing a non-specific adsorption of proteins, when used as a substrate for biochips for immobilizing probes composed of biologically relevant substances such as proteins and nucleic acids, is disclosed. Amino groups can be bound to the surface of the substrate uniformly, at a high density and stably by covalently immobilizing an amino group-containing polymer on the surface of the substrate. The probe immobilization rate is high and immobilizing density was uniform by immobilizing a probe composed of a biologically relevant substance such as a protein or nucleic acid by utilizing the amino groups. Further, detection sensitivity and reproducibility are high by inhibiting non-specific adsorption of proteins.

A substrate for biochips with which spots are not diffused and cross-contamination due to contacts between adjacent spots does not occur, as well as a biochip using the substrate, is disclosed. A substrate for biochips with which spots are not diffused and cross-contamination due to contacts between adjacent spots does not occur, by forming a plurality of recesses for immobilizing biologically relevant substances, as well as a biochip using the substrate, was provided. It was discovered also that the desired binding of target molecules in a test sample occurs at a detectable level in solution systems even if the volume of each recess is extremely small as small as 1 nL to 10 nL.

Disclosed is a peptide-immobilized bead library from which peptides are more likely to be obtained as candidates of useful substances such as pharmaceuticals, and with which the amino acid sequence bound to a target substance can be more easily analyzed, compared to known OPOB libraries. The peptide-immobilized bead library has a structure of General Formula [I].
In General Formula [I], X is an amino acid residue; n is an integer of 4 to 8; Y is a cyclization structure; A is a spacer structure; B is a specific cleavage site-containing structure; and the 4 to 8 amino acid residues of X are each independently randomly selected.

摘要:
Means for overcoming the problems which the conventional glass microchannel chips have are disclosed. That is, a microchannel chip in which microchannels can be formed at a low cost, and which has a high chemical resistance is disclosed. The microchannel chip is constituted by a substrate made of carbon, which has a channel in its surface; and a cover composed of a glass plate bonded to the substrate. The cover is bonded to the substrate by heating at least a part of the contact surface at which the substrate is in contact with the cover.
