Abstract: The present invention relates to a mutated immunoglobulin-binding protein having increased alkaline tolerance and, more specifically, to an immunoglobulin-binding protein in which, with respect to the A-domain of Staphylococcal protein A, or a functional variant thereof, an amino acid at a specific site is mutated and thereby exhibits an increased chemical stability at an alkaline pH value in comparison to a parental molecule. The present invention can provide an antibody-purifying immunoglobulin-binding protein ligand and matrix which have enhanced alkaline tolerance and accordingly enhanced stability in multiple times of alkaline cleaning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention or treatment lipid metabolic disorders comprising fucoxanthin or marine plant extract comtaining the same as an effective indredients. Fucoxanthin or a marine plant extract comprising the same is effective in reducing weight increase and reducing triglyceride and cholesterol level in liver tissue, or plasma through inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acid and promoting the oxidation of fatty acid. Therefore, the composition comprising fucoxanthin or a marine plant extract comprising the same as an effective ingredient may be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of lipid metabolic disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed in this invention is a use of pinitol or chiroinositol for protecting the liver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a recombinant polynucleotides comprising the steps of generating a pool of unidirectional single-stranded polynucleotide fragments from two or more homologous double-stranded polynucleotides, conducting a polymerization process comprising multi-cyclic extension reactions using the unidirectional single-stranded polynucleotide fragments as templates and specific oligonucleotides as primers to obtain recombinant polynucleotides, and conducting a polymerase chain reaction using at least one primer to amplify the recombinant polynucleotides; and a method for constructing a recombinant DNA library comprising the steps of inserting the recombinant polynucleotide prepared by the above method into a vector and transforming an expression cell with said vector containing the recombinant polynucleotide to obtain a plurality of mutant clones.
