Publication number: 20240069033Abstract: A method for screening for a molecule capable of forming a complex with a plurality of target molecules has been found by applying an affinity-based method for recovering a candidate molecule to techniques represented by Split GFP techniques. The method includes allowing a first target molecule linked to a first moiety of a protein, a second target molecule linked to a second moiety of the protein, and a library containing a plurality of test molecules to coexist, and recovering a test molecule capable of forming a complex with the first target molecule linked to the first moiety and the second target molecule linked to the second moiety by an affinity technique.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Tetsuo KOJIMA, Kaori NISHIMURA, Yugo KURIKI

Patent number: 7508595Abstract: A taking lens apparatus has a zoom lens system that forms an optical image of an object at a variable magnification and that includes an aperture stop in the optical path, and an image sensor that has a light-receiving surface that converts the optical image into an electrical image signal and outputs it. The zoom lens system includes an optical member having a reflective surface that reflects a light beam in such a way that the optical axis is bent at substantially 90°. Moreover, prescribed conditions are fulfilled among the focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end, at the telephoto end, the axial distance from the image plane to the exit pupil at the wide-angle end, and the axial distance from the image-side surface of the most image-side lens element to the image plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2003Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kaori Kojima
