  • Patent number: 7150978
    Abstract: A translation template comprising an ORF region coding for a protein, a 5? untranslated region comprising a transcription promoter and a translation enhancer and locating on the 5? side of the ORF region, and a 3? end region comprising a poly-A sequence and locating on the 3? side of the ORF region, is expressed in a translation system in the presence of an agent for modifying a C-terminal of a protein, which comprises an acceptor portion having a group capable of binding to a protein through a transpeptidation reaction in a protein translation system and a modifying portion comprising a nonradioactive modifying substance linked to the acceptor portion via a nucleotide linker, to cause protein synthesis and the synthesized protein is purified. Thus, the yield of modified protein in a method of modifying C-terminal of protein is improved and detection of protein interaction based on various intermolecular interaction detection methods is realized at an improved level.

  • Patent number: 5116148
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat transfer process and a heat transfer ink sheet, where a letter or image or both is recorded by selectively heating a heat transfer ink sheet having ink layer regions each containing a sublimable or vaporizable dye by heating by a thermal head controlled by a controlling means, thereby selectively heat transferring the sublimated or vaporized dyes onto a recording sheet, and is characterized by heat transferring a precoating layer for receiving the dyes from the ink sheet onto the recording sheet before the heat transfer recording, and then pressing the ink sheet on the transferred precoating layer on the recording sheet and heating the ink sheet by the thermal head, thereby sublimating or vaporizing the dyes from the respective ink layers onto the precoating layer and forming the letter or image or both on the recording sheet.
