Abstract: A member for displacing the center of gravity used in a lure. The longitudinal dimension of a linear wire extends from the belly of the lure to the tail. A cylindrical magnet piece is secured to one end of the wire. A weight is formed as a hollow cylinder and is inserted from the other end of the wire. This weight is an alloy formed by mixing a material that does not have ferromagnetic properties in room temperature and a material having ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. A hole of the weight is formed to have a diameter slightly larger than that of the wire, allowing the wire passed through the hole to move freely forward and back. Next, a cushion member is secured near the other end of the wire.

Abstract: A desired isomer is selectively prepared by phosphorolyzing and isomerizing an anomer mixture of a 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative while crystallizing one of the isomers to displace the equilibrium. Furthermore, using the action of a nucleoside phosphorylase, a nucleoside is prepared from the 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative obtained and a base with improved stereoselectivity and a higher yield. This process is an anomer-selective process for preparing a 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative and a nucleoside.
