    摘要: Excellent decarbamylase variants which are more advantageously usable industrially are provided by clarifying the stereostructure of decarbamylase by X-ray crystalline structure analysis and designing molecules aiming at elevating the reactivity to the substrates (D-N-carbamoyl- alpha -amino acids), etc. by using the stereostructure. More particularly speaking, provision is made of: the stereostructure of decarbamylase determined by X-ray crystalline structure analysis, stereostructure models of variants thereof and stereostructure models of complexes thereof with substrates, products, etc.; a molecular design method with the use of these stereostructures; a method of obtaining decarbamylase variants by using this method; the decarbamylase variants obtained by this method; and a method of designing and producing variants of proteins which are similar to decarbamylase in structure.

    摘要: It is intended to provide a peptide having an excellent ability to bind to a protein capable of binding to insulin (IBP); an adsorbent comprising this peptide fixed on a water-insoluble support; an adsorption apparatus containing this adsorbent; and a method of adsorbing IBP with the use of the above adsorbent or adsorption apparatus. By using the above-described peptide, adsorbent, adsorption apparatus and method, IBP can be efficiently and selectively adsorbed and removed. Thus, they are usable in, for example, treating diseases on which IBP acts as a worsening factor such as diabetes.

    摘要: A method of modifying an enzyme whereby the coenzyme-dependency of an oxidoreductase is changed is developed. Using this method, a novel carbonyl reductase variant capable of using NADH as a coenzyme is provided. It is also intended to provide a process of enzymatically producing an optically active (S)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester by using the carbonyl reductase variant. A method of modifying an enzyme itself so as to change the coenzyme-dependency of carbonyl reductase which asymmetrically reduce a carbonyl compound to give an optically active alcohol; a carbonyl reductase having been converted in the coenzyme-dependency from NADPH to NADH which is obtained by the above method; DNA encoding this enzyme variant; a plasmid having this DNA; transformant cells transformed by this plasmid; and a process for producing an optically active alcohol by using the above enzyme variant and/or the above transformed cells.

    摘要: Remedies for diseases which function by regulating the expression of a protein induced by a heat shock factor (HSF). Specifically, HSF activity inhibitors or agents inhibiting the induction of the production of a protein regulated by HSF, wherein novel benzo-1,3-dioxole compounds represented by general formula (I) inhibit the transcription of a structural gene having a heat shock element sequence, which is a transcriptional regulatory factor, in a gene region participating in the transcription into RNA, thus inhibit the translation of this gene into a protein and, in its turn, suppress the induction of the production of the RNA, protein, etc. encoded by the gene; and remedies and preventives usable in thermotherapy for cancer and remedies and preventives for stress-induced diseases such as depression. Compounds represented by general formula (I): wherein X is -CH2- and R1 represents C¿1-2? alkyl, formyl or halogeno; or X is -(CH2)2- and R?1¿ represents C¿1-3? alkyl, formyl, acetyl, hydrogen or halogeno.

    摘要: A method for calculating the solution of optimization of a multiple mutant protein amino acid sequence, comprises a step of seeking the amino acid side chain three-dimensional structure coordinates of the amino acid sequence of each of the members of a multiple mutant protein group on the basis of the three-dimensional structure data on a template protein group according to a dead end elimination algorithm and calculating the minimization of the structure energy of the member to calculate the optimum three-dimensional coordinates of the multiple mutant protein, a step calculating the characteristic value from the optimum three-dimensional structure coordinates, and a step of calculating the member that optimizes the characteristic value by applying a genetic algorithm to the multiple mutant protein group. From the multiple mutant protein group including a vast number of combinations, the solution of optimization is selected on the basis of the characteristic value in a short time without degrading the accuracy.
