  • Patent number: 9896715
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method which enables semiquantitative or quantitative determination of the ratio between cysteine and formylglycine residues in a protein. The method includes (a) a step of labeling the protein (i) with a halogen-substituted carboxylic acid, (ii) with a halogen-substituted carboxylic acid amide, and (iii) with a halogen-substituted carboxylic acid and then with hydrazine, or with a halogen-substituted carboxylic acid and then by oximation, (b) a step of digesting each labeled protein to provide a corresponding mixture of peptide fragments, (c) a step of subjecting each mixture to reverse phase chromatography to separate the peptide fragments from each other to produce a chromatogram, (d) a step of comparing the produced chromatograms with each other to identify the peak corresponding to the peptide fragment that contained a cysteine residue and the peak corresponding to the peptide fragment that contained a formylglycine residue.

  • Patent number: 9238258
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a double-wall tube with braided wires at its interface in which the braided wires are interposed between an outer-wall and inner-wall blank tubes and then a drawing process is applied so as for the braided wires to be brought into close contact with the inner surface of the outer-wall tube and the outer surface of the inner-wall tube, the method comprising: polishing the inner surface of the outer-wall blank tube and the outer surface of the inner-wall blank tube so that a surface roughness thereof satisfies Ra<1.0 ?m, followed by interposing the braided wires between the outer-wall and inner-wall blank tubes; performing a sinking drawing process so that the difference of the outer diameter of the resulting double-wall tube relative to a die bore diameter is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm; and subsequently performing heat treatment. The double-wall tube produced is suitable as a heat-transfer tube.

    Abstract: After an inner wall tube, made of steel or alloy containing not less than 2% of Cr, whose outer surface thereof is machined and/or ground to a thickness of 0.1 mm or more including the scale layer, is inserted into an outer wall tube, made of ferritic steel containing not less than 2% of Cr, in which an oxide scale layer containing Cr and having a thickness of 10 to 30 ?m is formed in the inner surface thereof, cold working at an outside diameter reduction rate of 5 to 30% is performed. Similarly cold worked after an inner wall tube having an oxide scale layer on the outer surface thereof, is inserted into an outer wall tube whose inner surface is machined and ground. A double-walled tube made has a uniform gap and an excellent thermal conductivity, and is suitable as materials for SG tubes of future FBR.

  • Patent number: 8906692
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for separation analysis of mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) by post-column fluorescence detection method. The apparatus is based on chromatography, and includes a column with a solid phase having affinity for phosphate, a flow path for the eluate, a heater installed on the flow path for M6P and a basic amino acid to react by heating the eluate in the flow path, and a fluorescence detector installed downstream of the heater for continuously irradiating the eluate with excitation light and measuring the intensity of the emission, and may include in the flow path a supply channel for addition of a basic amino acid between the column and the heater. The method is characterized in that it uses the apparatus and a second mobile phase consisting of a second buffer containing phosphate of predetermined concentration and adjusted to a predetermined pH.

  • Patent number: 8522603
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved post-column fluorimetric determination-boric acid complex anion exchange method which allows analysis of mannose-6-phosphate. The disclosed method is a method for separation analysis of reducing sugars using column chromatography, comprising loading a sample onto an anion exchange column, washing the column by allowing to flow a sufficient volume of a first mobile phase consisting of an aqueous solution of a predetermined concentration of boric acid containing a predetermined concentration of a water-soluble inorganic salt through the column, supplying a second mobile phase with an elevated concentration of the salt to elute the reducing sugars, adding to the eluate a basic amino acid, heating, and continuously measuring and recording the intensity of fluorescent light emitted under irradiation with excitation light.
