  • Publication number: 20140273564
    Abstract: A card connector has an inserted card module including electrode pads provided on one surface. The card connector includes a housing provided with connection terminals arranged so as to contact the electrode pads of the card module. The card connector includes a holding spring portion for holding a card module inserted into the card connector. The card connector includes an ejection mechanism able to change orientation between a first orientation and a second orientation. The ejection mechanism has the first orientation before a card module is inserted into the card connector, and the second orientation after a card module has been completely inserted into the card connector. The holding spring portion is displaceable when the ejection mechanism is in the first orientation, and non-displaceable when the ejection mechanism is in the second orientation.

  • Patent number: 8557542
    Abstract: The present invention aims to synthesize a polypeptide having an unnatural structure at the N-terminus via a biosynthetic process by translation of amino acid sequence information encoded by a nucleic acid. A polypeptide having any amino acid at the N-terminus is synthesized by using an ARS ribozyme that catalyzes the acylation of tRNA with any amino acid to attach any amino acid to an initiator tRNA, thereby initiating a translation with the initiator tRNA.

  • Publication number: 20110124206
    Abstract: A board-to-board connector is disclosed. The board-to-board connector comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a first housing and a first terminal, and is configured to be mounted on a first board. The first terminal is fitted in the first housing. The second connector has a second housing and a second terminal. The second terminal is fitted in the second housing and is configured to make contact with the first terminal. The second connector is configured to be mounted on a second board so as to be engaged with the first connector. When the first connector and the second connector are engaged together, a plane where the first board is present intersects a plane where the second board is present.

  • Publication number: 20100168380
    Abstract: The objective is to provide a novel process for synthesizing a cyclic peptide compound. It is also an objective to provide a novel cyclic peptide compound. The novel process for synthesizing a cyclic peptide compound comprises the steps of: (1) translationally synthesizing a non-cyclic peptide compound having in a molecule a functional group 1 and a functional group 2, which are a pair of functional groups capable of reacting to form a bond, and (2) cyclizing the non-cyclic peptide compound by the reaction of the functional groups 1 and 2 to form a bond. The novel cyclic peptide compound can be synthesized by the process.

  • Publication number: 20070037841
    Abstract: An inhibitor contains naphthyridine dimer, a naphthyridine-azaquinolone hybrid, a trinaphthyridine-azaquinolone hybrid, or a trinaphthyridine-azaquinolone hybrid derivative. In order to inhibit binding of 100 nM of RRE to 100 nM of Rev protein, for example, an inhibitor containing naphthyridine dimer is used at a molarity of 1.2 ?M to 12 ?M, an inhibitor containing the naphthyridine-azaquinolone hybrid is used at a molarity of 2 ?M to 20 ?M, or an inhibitor containing the trinaphthyridine-azaquinolone hybrid derivative is used at a molarity of 200 nM to 2 ?M. This makes it possible to effectively inhibit binding of RRE to Rev protein.
