Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to develop and provide a nucleic acid molecule that can specifically and efficiently inhibit the activity of a target RNAi molecule and can be produced safely at a low cost. Provided is a nucleic acid molecule for inhibiting the activity of a target RNAi molecule. The nucleic acid molecule comprises a single-stranded nucleic acid moiety that contains one unmodified DNA region composed of a nucleotide sequence completely or sufficiently complementary to a nucleotide sequence of a functional strand having the activity in the target RNAi molecule and a double-stranded nucleic acid moiety to be linked to at least one of the 5'-end and the 3'-end of the single-stranded nucleic acid moiety.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a crystal of reduced glutathione that is stable, and is easy to process, and a method for producing the crystal. According to the present invention, a crystal of a metal salt of reduced glutathione is produced by suspending an amorphous solid of a metal salt of reduced glutathione in a hydrophobic organic solvent, and adding water to the resulting suspension to precipitate a crystal of a metal salt of reduced glutathione.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electric current measurement apparatus to measure a current flowing in a wire. The electric current measurement apparatus comprises a first magnetic element; a second magnetic element; a first current source capable of supplying a first alternating current to the first magnetic element; a second current source capable of supplying a second alternating current to the second magnetic element, a phase of the second alternating current being deviated from a phase of the first alternating current; a first lowpass filter configured to pass a low frequency component of an output from the first magnetic element; and a second low pass filter configured to pass a low frequency component of an output from the second magnetic element. The electric current measurement apparatus also comprises an operator configured to calculate a square root of a sum of squares of an output from the first low pass filter and an output from the second low pass filter, and / or an arc tangent value of the output from the first low pass filter and the output from the second low pass filter.
Abstract:
This clamp-type ammeter has a flexible substrate of which an inner wall is configured to be able to deform into a substantially cylindrical shape. The clamp-type ammeter has a plurality of magnetic sensor elements disposed at the inner wall of the flexible substrate. The clamp-type ammeter has a tube of which one end is connected to the flexible substrate. The clamp-type ammeter has an operation unit that is connected to the other end of the tube and that can operate the deformation of the flexible substrate.
Abstract:
Si-Si bond-bearing compounds are effectively prepared by irradiating with radiation or heating Si-H group-bearing silicon compounds in organic solvents in the presence of iron complex catalysts. The Si-Si bond-bearing compounds are useful as a base material in photoresist compositions, ceramic precursor compositions, and conductive compositions.
Abstract:
As an alternative technique to lead-acid batteries, the present invention provides an inexpensive 2 V non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having excellent cycle life at a high rate by preventing volume change during charge and discharge. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery uses: a positive electrode active material having a layered structure, being represented by chemical formula Li 1±α [Me]O 2 , where 0 ≦ α 4 Ti 5 O 12 (Li[Li 1/3 Ti 5/3 ]O 4 ).
