| 20080248565 | ISOLATED PHOSPHOLIPID-PROTEIN PARTICLES - Systems and methods are provided for producing a protein of interest that is typically not amenable to expression in soluble form in in vitro expression systems. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of synthesizing proteins using in vitro protein synthesis systems that include a scaffold protein such as apolipoprotein or an amphipathic alpha helix containing (“AAHC”) protein, in which higher yields of soluble protein are produced than in the absence of the scaffold protein. The scaffold proteins may be provided in an in vitro protein synthesis system associated with lipid or not associated with lipid. The scaffold protein may be provided as a protein per se or may be encoded by a nucleic acid template and co-expressed with the protein of interest. The invention also provides compositions and kits for synthesis of proteins in soluble form, in which the compositions and kits include cell extracts for protein expression and isolation. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080254481 | METHODS AND KITS FOR DETECTING PROSTATE CANCER BIOMARKERS - Provided herein are novel autoantibody biomarkers, and panels for detecting autoantibody biomarkers for prostate cancer, and methods and kits for detecting these biomarkers in the serum of individuals suspected of having prostate cancer. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090005267 | IMMUNOASSAY FOR CROSS-REACTING SUBSTANCES - The present disclosure provides an immunoassay involving a multiplex of antibodies that recognize the same analyte but that have a different cross-reactivity to structurally similar compounds.

| 20100255487 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SINGLE MOLECULE SEQUENCING USING ENERGY TRANSFER DETECTION - Provided herein are systems and methods for nucleotide incorporation reactions. The systems comprise polymerases having altered nucleotide incorporation kinetics and are linked to an energy transfer donor moiety, and nucleotide molecules linked with at least one energy transfer acceptor moiety. The donor and acceptor moieties undergo energy transfer when the polymerase and nucleotide are proximal to each other during nucleotide binding and/or nucleotide incorporation. As the donor and acceptor moieties undergo energy transfer, they generate an energy transfer signal which can be associated with nucleotide binding or incorporation. Detecting a time sequence of the generated signals, or the change in the signals, can be used to determine the order of the incorporated nucleotides, and can therefore be used to deduce the sequence of the target molecule. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110003343 | CONJUGATES OF BIOMOLECULES TO NANOPARTICLES - Disclosed herein are conjugates comprising a biomolecule linked to a label that have biological activity and are useful in a wide variety of biological applications. For example, provided herein are polymerase-nanoparticle conjugates including a polymerase linked to a nanoparticle, wherein the conjugate has polymerase activity. Such conjugates can exhibit reduced aggregation and improved stochiometries wherein the average biomolecule:nanoparticle ratio approaches or equals 1:1. Also disclosed herein are improved methods for preparing such conjugates, and methods and systems for using such conjugates in biological applications such as nucleotide incorporation, primer extension and single molecule sequencing. | 01-06-2011 |
