Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
There has been interest in applying nanogels to drug delivery systems, such as protein delivery and gene delivery. In general, chemically cross-linked nanogels are synthesized by microemulsion polymerization or a crosslinking reaction of intra-associated polymer molecules. We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials(nanogel engineering) by the self-assembly of functional associating polymers as building blocks. In particular, nanogels of cholesteryl group-bearing pullulan(CHP) selectively interact with proteins as a host and are useful as artificial molecular chaperone and drug carriers such as cancer immune therapy. 3, record 5, English, - nanogel

Four main characteristics of wheat flour determine its suitability for breadmaking. These are :protein quality and protein quantity; dough mixing characteristics; damaged starch level; amylase activity. The functional roles of these factors are, to some extent, interrelated; particularly the level of damaged starch and amylase activity. With some flours, other characteristics, flour proteolytic activity, for example, may also play a significant role in breadmaking quality. 1, record 11, English, - proteolytic%20activity

Most mutant genes are recessive with respect to wild-type genes. This fact, puzzling to early geneticists, is now partially understood in terms of the gene-enzyme relation. The recessive phenotype often results from the failure of mutant genes to produce any functional protein(enzyme). In heterozygotes, however, there is always present one "good" gene, and correspondingly, a number of good gene products. Control mechanisms cause the wild-type gene in a heterozygote to produce more gene products than does each wild-type gene in a homozygote. 1, record 12, English, - gene%20product
