20130310348 | QUINOLINE DERIVATIVES AND USES THEREOF - This disclosure provides a new class of compounds referred to as “reversed chloroquines” (RCQs), which are highly effective against CQ | 11-21-2013 |
20130224765 | NANO-POROUS MEMBRANE BASED SENSORS - Sensors include nano-porous alumina membranes that are sensitized by immobilization of antibodies in the nano-pores. The nano-membranes can be sensitized to respond to a single target compound, or different portions of the nano-membrane can be differently sensitized. Capture of the target compound can be detected based on a spectral signature associated with electrical conductance in the nano-pores. | 08-29-2013 |
20110300567 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING REDOX ACTIVITY AND SCREENING COMPOUNDS BASED ON REDOX ACTIVITY - A method for identifying the redox activity of a subject compound is disclosed. The method can be performed aerobically and can include forming a mixture comprising a free-radical precursor and a compound to be tested, and converting the free-radical precursor into a free-radical anion and a free-radical cation. After the free radical cation and the free radical anion have been formed, the relative redox activity of the subject compound may cause a difference in the rate of photo-bleaching of the mixture and/or the rate of superoxide generation. These differences can be quantified and used to identify the redox activity of the subject compound. This sensitive technique for measuring redox activity can be used to screen compounds for various biological applications. Drugs also can be developed based on the relationship between redox activity and biological activity for particular biological applications. | 12-08-2011 |
20080275655 | Database supported nanocrystal structure identification by lattice-fringe fingerprinting with structure factor extraction - Candidate structures for nanocrystal and other specimens are obtained based on a specimen complex spectrum that is determined as a Fourier transform of a phase-contrast electron micrograph. The specimen can also be assessed based on an amplitude portion of the complex spectrum using a lattice-fringe fingerprint. In some examples, the specimen complex spectrum is compensated based on an electron microscope transfer function, a specimen tilt, or based on other crystallographic compensation. Amplitude or phase portions of the compensated complex spectrum can be compared with reference structures stored in one or more reference structure databases. | 11-06-2008 |
