A structure for fixing an electrical junction box is provided which makes it possible to fix the same electrical junction box, irrespective of the sizes, shapes and the like of batteries, and to commonly use the electrical junction box. The structure includes a bracket including a junction box fixing part which fixes the electrical junction box and a battery fixing part which is fixed to the battery. The electrical junction box is fixed to the battery via the bracket.

The present invention provides screening methods for GPCRs based on the discovery that the affinity of a receptor agonist for a GPCR (such as the parathyroid hormone receptor) when not bound to a G-protein is correlated with the length of time over which the agonist is effective, independently of its pharmacokinetic properties. The invention also provides PTH- and PTHrP-derived polypeptides.

Screening methods using G-protein coupled receptors and related compositions

A terminal connection structure comprises a first terminal made in a plate shape and formed with a through-opening, a supporting section supporting the first terminal, a second terminal made in a plate shape and to be a connection counterpart of the first terminal, and a clip made of a plate-like material having an electrical conductivity, and having a central piece formed into a U-shape and opposed pieces continued from the central piece, the central piece being provided with a pair of projection portions projected from both side portions of the central piece to prevent the clip from excessively entering into the through-opening. The first terminal is interposed between the opposed pieces facing to each other with the central piece inserted into the through-opening, and the second terminal is inserted between a surface of the first terminal facing the pair of projection portions and the clip.
