Water-forming NADH oxidase derived from Streptococcus mutans should be further improved in terms of stability for practical use in industrial production. An object of the present invention is to provide an enzyme that is obtained through modification of a water-forming NADH oxidase, which is useful as an NAD+ regeneration system for stereoselective oxidation catalyzed by an oxidoreductase, by protein engineering techniques so that the enzyme can withstand long-term use without exhibiting a reduction of its activity for the regeneration of NAD+, that is, an enzyme having improved stability, and to provide a method for efficiently producing a useful substance such as an optically active alcohol or amino acid. The present invention relates to an enzyme modification method that can improve the stability of water-forming NADH oxidase derived from Streptococcus mutans by appropriately introducing mutation.

A pair of compression rollers 38a and 38b parallel with each other are provided and powder grains are supplied to a powder grain introduction/compression part 50 formed between the rollers 38a and 38b and, thereby, compression moldings of the powder grains are formed. A powder grain press/feed means 20 is provided in a front stage of the rollers 38a and 38b. The press/feed means 20 has a deaerating barrel 24 and previously presses the powder grains supplied between the rollers 38a and 38b. In side surfaces of the rollers 38a and 38b, side seals 37 are arranged with clearances 72 maintained from the rollers 38a and 38b. During pressing the powder moldings, the powder grains enter into the clearances so that closer layers are formed between the side surfaces of the compression rollers 38a and 38b and the side seals 37, thereby sealing the powder grain introduction/compression part 50. In a rear stage of the rollers 38a and 38b, a shearing device 75 is provided and shears the compression moldings formed by the rollers 38a and 38b. Torque of the shearing device 75 is detected by a torque sensor, and the compression rollers 38a and 38b and the powder grain transport means 17 are controlled in accordance with the detected torque.

The invention provides an alkali-soluble adhesive agent characterized by comprising an alkali-soluble resin that is a reaction product (C) obtained by allowing a polycarboxylic acid and/or a polycarboxylic anhydride having two or more carboxyl groups to react with a reaction product of a compound (A) having at least one epoxy group with a monocarboxylic acid compound (B). Preferably, the alkali-soluble resin is used in combination with a ketone organic solvent, optionally with at least one member selected from the group consisting of a melt viscosity reducing agent, a surface active agent and a plasticizer. The alkali-soluble adhesive agent can be removed by an alkali aqueous solution without recourse to any organic solvent, and is of an environmental protection-conscious type with improvements in adhesion, adhesion strength, coatability, surface smoothness, softening point controllability, melt viscosity controllability and spread controllability.
