20140349297 | FLUORESCENT DYES BASED ON ACRIDINE AND ACRIDINIUM DERIVATIVES - The present invention relates to fluorescent dyes based on acridine and acridinium derivatives and use of such dyes in for example, biochemical and/or cell-based assays. | 11-27-2014 |
20140080162 | FLUORESCENCE LIFETIME EPIGENETICS ASSAYS - The invention is concerned with methods of assaying the activity of enzymes based on measurement of fluorescence lifetime (FLT). In particular, the invention relates to assays for enzymes which are capable of modifying the structure of peptide substrates, including for example enzymes catalysing methylation, demethylation, acetylation, deacetylation or deimination of peptide substrates. | 03-20-2014 |
20130211047 | PURIFICATION TAGS OF SYNTHETIC PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS - The present invention relates to a series of compounds useful for effecting purification, in particular for use in purification of synthetic peptides and proteins. The compounds of the invention are particularly efficient at securely anchoring peptides or proteins to a surface and allowing the peptide or protein to become uniformly orientated, thus ensuring that substantially all of the peptide or protein is available for molecular binding to a substrate. | 08-15-2013 |
20120128629 | METHOD OF LABELLING INTERFERONS WITH PEG - A method of site specific labelling of an interferon molecule is provided. The method comprises the steps: a) providing a label molecule comprising a PEG moiety having an aldehyde or ketone moiety; b) providing an interferon molecule having a C terminal hydrazide moiety; and c) allowing the aldehyde or ketone moiety of the PEG moiety to react with the C terminal hydrazide of the interferon molecule to form a labelled interferon molecule, which comprises a PEG moiety attached to the C terminus of the interferon molecule via a hydrazone bond. Interferon molecules labelled using such a method are also described. | 05-24-2012 |
