Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080220472In Vivo Incorporation of Alkynyl Amino Acids into Proteins in Eubacteria - The invention relates to orthogonal pairs of tRNAs and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that can incorporate alkynyl amino acids such as para-propargyloxyphenylalanine into proteins produced in a eubacteria host such as 09-11-2008
20080233611Orthogonal Translation Components for the in Vivo Incorporation of Unnatural Amino Acids - The invention relates to orthogonal pairs of tRNAs and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that can incorporate unnatural amino acids into proteins produced in eubacterial host cells such as 09-25-2008
20090081690Site-specific labeling of proteins for NMR studies - Methods of producing and/or analyzing spectroscopically labeled proteins, e.g., proteins site-specifically labeled with NMR active isotopes, spin-labels, chelators for paramagnetic metals, and the like, are provided. The labeled proteins are produced in translation systems including orthogonal aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs. Methods for assigning NMR resonances, e.g., methods using isotopically labeled proteins, are also provided.03-26-2009
20100099159CAGED NUCLEOTIDES AND OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AND THEIR APPLICATION - There is disclosed nucleotides and nucleotide analogs having a protecting or “caging” group. There is further disclosed oligonucleotides and oligonucleotides analogs formed having a protecting or “caging” group. There is further disclosed a method for decaging the nucleotides and nucleotide analogs having a protecting or “caging” group and oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs having a caging group.04-22-2010
20100196357Microrna modulators and method for identifying and using the same - The present invention is a method for identifying agents which modulate microRNA activity. The invention involves contacting a cell harboring a microRNA and a microRNA binding sequence, which is operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a reporter protein, with a test agent and determining whether the test agent increases or decreases the expression of the reporter protein thereby identifying a microRNA modulator. Antagonists identified by this screening assay are provided, as are methods for using the same to inhibit microRNA activity and prevent or treat disease.08-05-2010
20100317628MicroRNA Modulators and Method for Identifying and Using the Same - The present invention is a method for identifying agents which modulate microRNA activity. The invention involves contacting a cell harboring a microRNA and a microRNA binding sequence, which is operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a reporter protein, with a test agent increases or decreases the expression of the reporter protein thereby identifying a microRNA modulator. Antagonists identified by this screening assay are provided, as are methods for using the same to inhibit microRNA activity and prevent or treat disease.12-16-2010

20090321562METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR AN ASYMMETRICAL FAIRING - A fairing includes three sections: an aft section, a middle section, and a nose section. The aft section includes a first surface having a generally constant conic angle (i.e., a “boat-tail angle”) with respect to the longitudinal axis such that the aft section tapers to a first end configured to attach to a generally cylindrical body. The middle section, which intersects and is axially aligned with the aft section, has a second surface characterized by a constant elliptical cross-section along a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The nose section intersects and is axially aligned with the middle section. The nose section is further defined by four generally concave trianguloid surfaces, each extending from the middle section to a common apex intersecting the longitudinal axis, wherein each adjacent pair of trianguloid surfaces intersects at an edge (e.g., an incurvate edge). The four trianguloid surfaces are asymmetrically disposed with respect to rotational symmetry about the longitudinal axis, and the edges have a sharpness that varies from the common apex to the middle section.12-31-2009
