20090286729 | Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antagonists and Methods of Use - The present invention features epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonists. These EGFR antagonists are polypeptide variants of ligands of EGFR. The EGFR ligand polypeptide variants of the invention possess EGFR antagonistic properties and can inhibit at least one EGFR-mediated biological activity such as inhibition of the receptor's kinase activation activity and subsequently, cell proliferation. Such polypeptide variants, and nucleic acids encoding these polypeptide variants can be used therapeutically in situations in which inhibition of EGFR activity is indicated. | 11-19-2009 |
20090311783 | INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-I RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS - The present invention relates to IGF-I variants that bind to the Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptor I (IGF-IR) but do not initiate signal transduction and the subsequent metabolic, growth and anti-apoptotic activities associated with this molecule and the progression of cancer. These novel variants act to block the binding of the cognate ligands but do not bind to the insulin receptor. | 12-17-2009 |
20090318350 | PAN-HER ANTAGONISTS AND METHODS OF USE - The present invention features human epidermal receptor (HER) antagonists. These antagonists are polypeptide variants of ligands of HER. The HER ligand polypeptide variants of the invention possess Pan-HER antagonistic properties and can inhibit at least one HER-mediated biological activity of one or more HER subtypes, such as inhibition of the receptor's kinase activation activity and subsequently, cell proliferation. Such polypeptide variants, and nucleic acids encoding these polypeptide variants can be used therapeutically in situations in which inhibition of HER activity is indicated. | 12-24-2009 |
20130309741 | MICROORGANISMS AND PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENE - The present invention provides a novel biosynthetic pathway for the production of isoprene from 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol or 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol. Further embodiments provide non-naturally occurring microorganism that have been modified to produce isoprene from 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol or 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol and methods of producing isoprene using said microorganism. | 11-21-2013 |
20130309742 | MICROORGANISMS AND PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENE - The present invention provides a novel biosynthetic pathway for the production of isoprene from 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol or 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol. Further embodiments provide non-naturally occurring microorganism that have been modified to produce isoprene from 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol or 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol and methods of producing isoprene using said microorganism. | 11-21-2013 |
20140206048 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR BIOFERMENTATION OF OIL-CONTAINING FEEDSTOCKS - The present invention provides compositions and methods for the use of oil-containing materials as feedstocks for the production the bioproducts by biofermentation. In one preferred embodiment, surfactants are not used in compositions and the methods of the invention. In one preferred embodiment the oil-containing feedstocks are the by-products of other industrial processes including microbial, plant and animal oil processing. | 07-24-2014 |
