Abstract: It is intended to provide a process for producing an extract for cell-free protein synthesis whereby the productivity of a protein and the production efficiency can be improved. Cells are cultured under suppressed growth conditions. In the stationary phase of the culture, the cells are collected and then disrupted. The above-described cells are preferably bacterial cells, in particular, Escherichia coli cells. In the suppressed growth conditions as described above, the culture temperature is preferably from 20 to 32° C., more preferably 26° C. or higher and lower than 30° C.

Abstract: A method for conveniently detecting binding between the von Willebrand factor and glycoprotein Ib and a means to be used therein. The von Willebrand factor fixed in a reactor immobilized in a reaction vessel in the presence of bottrocetin is bound to a chimeric protein constructed by fusing the carboxyl terminal of a partial protein containing the von Willebrand factor-binding site of glycoprotein Ib with the amino terminal of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin molecule. Then the Fc region of the above immunoglobulin molecule is detected to thereby detect the binding between the von Willebrand factor and the glycoprotein Ib or inhibition of this binding.

Abstract: The invention provides a diffractive optical element that can be used as a light beam splitter device, an optical low-pass filter or the like having a two-dimensionally multi-valued fine periodic structure. The surface of a transparent substrate for the diffractive optical element is divided into fine rectangular areas of identical shape which line up in two orthogonal directions while a plurality of rows line up with ends in alignment in any one of the directions. With respect to standard wavelength light incident vertically on the surface of the transparent substrate, an l-th, and a (l+1)-th rectangular area in an l-th row, where l is an odd number, gives a phase 2p?, and a phase {(4q+1)?/2+??/2}, respectively, and an l-th, and a (l+1)-th rectangular area in a (l+1)-th row gives a phase {(4r+3)?/2+3??/2}, and a phase {(4s+2)?/2+??}, respectively. However, ?0.25???0.25, and p, q, r, and s is an integer.
