Abstract:
A method for industrially producing human activin A which comprises refolding a modified human activin A produced by a microorganism into natural-form human activin A having a biological activity. This method comprises the steps of: (a) solubilizing the modified human activin A with a modifier and then protecting the thiol groups with glutathione and/or sodium sulfite; and (b) dialyzing the protected modified human activin A with a refolding buffer, containing taurodexoycholic acid or its salts and then adding a thiol compound thereto conduct a disulfide bond interchange reaction.

Abstract:
Aiming at adjusting the height of bump electrodes connected to lands on a substrate, a semiconductor device 100 has a first interconnect substrate 103 and a second interconnect substrate 101. On one surface of these substrates, first lands 111 and second lands 113 are provided. The plane geometry of the second lands 113 is a polygon characterized by the inscribed circle thereof having an area smaller than the area of the inscribed circle of the first land.
Abstract:
A method to more quantitatively recover a peak of a protein and associated aggregates, hydrophobic proteins, or hydrophobic peptides which are typically difficult to recover and detect as a peak, using a commercially available gel filtration chromatography column and a mobile phase is described. More specifically, a compound, such as arginine, which may be added to the mobile phase, thereby eliminating the unnecessary interaction that occurs between the proteins, peptides, or aggregates and the column stationary phase is described.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing a protein which has a restored native higher-order structure by bringing a protein which has lost its native higher-order structure into contact at pH 6.5 to 9.0 with a 1 to 3% aqueous solution of a specific surfactant, such as lauroylglutamic acid to obtain a solubilized solution of the protein; and then adding the solubilized solution to a buffer with pH 6.5 to 9.0 containing arginine or an arginine derivative at a concentration of 0.1 to 1.2 M to lower the concentration of the specific surfactant, such as lauroylglutamic acid, in the obtained mixture solution down to 0.02 to 0.275%. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily restore the native higher-order structure of a protein while smoothly removing the surfactant from the protein.

Abstract:
A folding portable device in which a first case and a second case are foldably connected and which can be opened by a simple operation even when a thickness of the case is reduced includes support means for supporting the first case with respect to the second case in a relatively displaceable manner within a specified range and opening assistance means of which an open lock is unlocked when the first case is displaced more than a predetermined amount.
Abstract:
To reduce the thickness and improve the operability. It includes a first housing and a second housing placed on top of each other, and connecting means to connect the first and second housings, the connecting means being interposed between the first and second housings, wherein the connecting means engages with the first housing so as to be slidable in at least one direction with respect to the first housing, and engages with the second housing so as to be rotatable with respect to the second housing.
