摘要:
The present invention provides: a protein having a fructosyl amino acid oxidase activity which protein is useful for measurement of a glycosylated protein (particularly, glycosylated hemoglobin); a modified protein thereof; and use of the protein or the modified protein. The protein of the present invention is, for example, a fructosyl valyl histidine oxidase derived from Phaeosphaeria nodorum, the fructosyl valyl histidine oxidase having excellent thermal stability and substrate specificity and also having a small Km value to fructosyl valyl histidine. This allows a glycosylated protein measuring reagent to be stored in a long time and measurement accuracy of the glycosylated protein measuring reagent to be improved.

The present invention relates to the production of an N36-binding peptide at low cost and in a large quantity utilizing a microorganism. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing an N36-binding peptide comprising introducing a recombinant vector into which a DNA molecule encoding an N36-binding peptide that binds to an N36 protein derived from a retrovirus that causes immunodeficiency in a mammal has been incorporated into E. coli as a host to produce a transformant.

The present inventors have found that a siderophore-iron (III) ion chelate complex is highly absorbed in the body; significantly increases the blood hemoglobin concentration, the serum iron concentration and the concentration of iron stored in the liver; and causes no adverse effects on the body. On the basis of these findings, the present inventors provide iron supplementing agents, agents for the prevention or treatment of iron defeciency anemia, food additives and food compositions, each of which contains a siderophore and iron (III) ions, preferably in the form of a chelate complex.

A semiconductor integrated circuit has P-channel active MOSFETs and N-channel active MOSFETs formed in a semiconductor substrate. In order to electrically isolate the active MOSFETs, the semiconductor integrated circuit has P-channel field shield MOS devices and N-channel field shield MOS devices. The P-channel field shield MOS devices have field shield electrodes which are laid on regions between impurity diffusion regions of the P-channel active MOSFETs. The N-channel field shield MOS devices have field shield electrodes which are laid on regions between impurity diffusion regions of N-channel active MOSFETs. A P-channel field shield voltage, which is higher than a power supply voltage of the semiconductor integrated circuit, is supplied to the field shield electrodes of the P-channel field shield MOS device to turn the P-channel field shield MOS devices to an OFF-state to electrically isolate the P-channel active MOSFETs. An N-channel field shield voltage, which is lower than a ground level of the semiconductor integrated circuit, is supplied to the field shield electrodes of the N-channel field shield MOS devices to turn the N-channel field shield MOS devices to an OFF-state to electrically isolate the N-channel active MOSFETs.

The present invention provides an LSI inspection method and a defect inspection data analysis apparatus capable of shortening a time needed for a wafer test. In a first database 11 is stored inspection data obtained when each defect inspection apparatus 20 inspects a wafer for defects in the front-end process. In a second database 12 are stored non-conforming article judgment criteria for each predetermined type of defect, according to which a non-conforming chip is judged. A defective chip identifying portion 16 identifies a chip having a defect and identifies the type of defect for each defect that the identified chip has, on the basis of the inspection data. For each identified chip, a non-conforming chip judging portion 17 judges whether the chip is a non-conforming article or not according to the non-conforming article judgment criteria corresponding to the type of defect for each defect, and obtains position information within the wafer surface of a chip judged as being a non-conforming article. The position information thus obtained is transmitted to an LSI inspection apparatus 30 via a transmission portion 15.

A semiconductor memory apparatus that stores data by accumulating charges in its capacitor is provided for allowing itself to be operated at a low potential and at a high speed. In the semiconductor memory apparatus, before performing a precharge by a precharging circuit 10 for the next cycle of read and write, a forced step-down circuit 11 previously lowers the potential of the bit line BL charged on the high side to a level within the range of preventing data of positive charges written and stored in a memory cell MC from being disappeared.

摘要:
A photomask by which no electrostatic damage or damage of a mask pattern due to electrification is produced. The photomask has a substrate; mask patterns formed on the substrate, which are made of a light blocking material and are covered with a light-transmissive and electrically conductive polymer material. Even the mask patterns which are isolated from each other on the substrate are electrically conductive with each other. Typically, the mask patterns are covered with an electrically conductive film made of the light-transmissive and electrically conductive polymer material. The electrically conductive film may have a thickness by which when foreign particles land on the electrically conductive film, an optical image of the foreign particles is defocused on a sample to be exposed in the exposure process, so that shapes of the foreign particles are not transferred. In this case, a pellicle, which is conventionally provided on the substrate, is unnecessary.
