  • Patent number: 7864114
    Abstract: Each of unit cells constituting a negative permeability medium includes a metal patch formed on a surface of a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate has a rear surface having a ground conductor formed on its entire surface. A positive permeability medium is an existing micro strip line and each of unit cells has a two-dimensional structure having a metal strip connected in four directions. The dielectric substrate has a rear surface having a ground conductor formed on its entire surface. The negative permeability medium is arranged at the left side adjacent to the positive permeability medium formed by unit cells arranged at the right side so that the media oppose to each other. A waveguide formed by the positive/negative permittivity medium or the positive/negative permeability medium of the meta material for propagation of a surface wave is formed at the boundary of the two media.

  • Publication number: 20070212752
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a method capable of introducing an arbitrary modification group into a synthetic protein and a method capable of easily controlling the syntheses of a modified protein and an unmodified protein. The present invention provides a method of cell-free protein synthesis comprising: performing cell-free protein synthesis using as a reaction solution of cell-free protein synthesis, a mixture solution of an extract derived from a eukaryotic cell and a reagent solution comprising as a substrate, a substance having a desired group to be introduced as a post-translational modification group; and thereby obtaining a protein comprising the post-translational modification group introduced therein. Preferably, the group to be introduced is an acyl group of fatty acid, and the form of the post-translational modification is lipid modification at the N-terminus of the protein.
