| Research Abstract |
The region concluding Arg 117 and 133 of NAPase had the keratin adsorbability, and was concerned with PrP^<Sc>-degrading activity. The specificity to hard-to-degrading protein of NAPase was improved by random mutagenesis. A specific inhibitor of NAPase adaptable for meet cleaner was discovered from bitter gourd.
