Abstract:
According to the present invention, a method for preparing a microgel comprises: a step of preparing a core; a step of forming a first shell on the core; and a step of forming a second shell on the first shell. The step of forming the first shell and/or the step of forming the second shell uses unsaturated monomers containing hydroxyl radicals and comprising polyalkylene glycols.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel hydrogenase isolated from a novel hyperthermophilic strain which belongs to Thermococcus sp., a gene encoding the same, and a method for producing hydrogen using the hydrogenase and gene. According to the hydrogen production method of the present invention, a large amount of hydrogen can be generated by only culturing the strain under specific culture conditions. Therefore, the method is economical and efficient compared to a conventional hydrogen production method and is able to produce hydrogen at a high temperature.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a kit for cancer diagnosis or prognosis analysis. An MEST according to the present invention is a marker for cancer having significantly improved accuracy and reliability. Particularly, the marker of the present invention has superior accuracy and reliability as a marker for breast cancer and liver cancer. The MEST of the present invention exhibits extremely superior accuracy and reliability as a marker for metastatic cancer. Moreover, according to the present invention, early cancer diagnosis and prognostic determination may be enabled in a very specific manner from a biological sample (for example, blood or serum) using the MEST, the expression of which specifically increases only in the cells and tissue of a cancer patient.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to mutant DNA polymerases and their genes isolated from Thermococcus sp. More specifically, the present invention relates to mutant DNA polymerases which are originally isolated from Thermococcus sp NAl. strain and produced by site-specific mutagenesis, their amino acid sequences, genes encoding said mutant DNA polymerases, their nucleic acids sequences, recombinant vectors containing said nucleic acids sequences, host cells transformed with thereof and methods for producing mutant DNA polymerase protein by using thereof. As mutant DNA polymerases according to the present invention have increased processivity by site-specific mutagenesis on exonuclease active site compared to wild type DNA polymerase, the present invention is broadly applicable for PCR in various molecular genetic technologies.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a noninvasive medical pulsimeter sensor using a hall device. By forming a pulse-sensing part array with a hall device as a magnetic sensor, over the skin-contacting part which consists of a magnetic material, the present invention increases the integrity of sensors, enables to understand the spatial characteristics of the pulse which cannot be determined by the conventional pressure sensors, minimize the time for searching the pulse, and is applicable widely to portable pulsimeters and the likes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a protease having algicidal activity, a gene encoding the same and algicidal formulation comprising the same. The protease according to the present invention showed high algicidal activity. Therefore, the protease can be used treatment of red tide in marine region of red tide occurrence.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a gene encoding ΔNp63 α and screening methods of anticancer-drugs thereof, more specifically a gene encoding ΔNp63 α and a protein which is transported from nucleus to cytoplasm by contacting with potential anticancer-drugs in an epithelial cell carcinoma, a recombinant vector comprising said gene and reporter genes, and carcinoma cells comprising said vector. Also, This invention relates to high throughput screening methods of anticancer-drug comprising identifying the transportation of ΔNp63 α protein from nucleus to cytoplasm by contacting with potential anticancer-drug in a carcinoma cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase and a preparation method thereof. The invention provides a novel hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase isolated from a Thermococcus sp. strain, a functional equivalent thereof, a protein having the amino acid sequence thereof, and a preparation method thereof. The DNA polymerase according to the invention is a DNA polymerase, which is hyperthermophilic and has an elongation ability and fidelity higher than those of prior commercial DNA polymerases. Thus, the DNA polymerase according to the invention will be useful in precision analysis, precision diagnosis, identification and the like, which require accurate PCR.
