  • DNA polymerase-related factors
    Patent number: 6333158
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermostable DNA polymerase-associated factor capable of enhancing DNA synthesizing-activity of a DNA polymerase; a thermostable DNA polymerase-associated factor possessing an activity of binding to a DNA polymerase and a method for producing the same; a gene encoding the DNA polymerase-associated factor; a method of DNA synthesis by using a DNA polymerase in the presence of the DNA polymerase-associated factor; and a kit comprising the DNA polymerase-associated factor. According to the present invention, there can be provided in vitro DNA synthesis and a DNA amplification system which are more excellent than conventional techniques by utilizing the DNA polymerase-associated factor of the present invention.
    Type: Grant

  • Human calpastatin-like polypeptide
    Patent number: 5189144
    Abstract: Polypeptides are provided which have a calpain inhibitory activity. The polypeptides have an activity like that of natural human calpastatin but are significantly shorter in length than natural human calpastatin. The polypeptides are suited for synthetic manufacture.
