Inventor: GADDY JAMES L
IPC: B01D11/04
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A water-immiscible solvent/co-solvent mixture which extracts acetic acid from
aqueous streams comprises
   (a) a water-immiscible solvent comprising greater than 50% by volume
of a mixture of isomers of highly branched di-alkyl amines and less than about
1% by volume of mono-alkyl amines, said solvent having a coefficient of
distribution greater than 10; and   (b) at least 10% by volume of a non-alcoholic co-solvent having a
boiling point lower than the boiling point of said solvent (a). Preferred water-immiscible
solvent useful in the extraction of acetic acid from aqueous streams
comprises about 91% by volume of a mixture of isomers of highly branched di-alkyl
amines, about 0.2% by volume of mono-alkyl amines, and about 9% by
volume tri-alkyl amines said solvent having a coefficient of distribution of
greater than 10. An anaerobic microbial fermentation process for the production
of acetic acid comprises the steps of:  
   (a) fermenting in a bioreactor a gas stream comprising a least one gas
selected from (1) carbon monoxide, (2) carbon dioxide and hydrogen, (3) carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen and (4) carbon monoxide and hydrogen
in the presence of an aqueous stream comprising an anaerobic acetogenic
bacteria in a nutrient medium, thereby producing a fermentation broth
comprising acetic acid;   (b) separating said bacteria from other components in said broth to
provide a substantially cell-free stream;   (c) continuously extracting acetic acid from said cell-free stream into a
solvent phase by contacting said cell-free stream with a water-immiscible
solvent/co-solvent mixture of the invention;   (d) recycling said aqueous phase to said bioreactor and passing said
solvent phase to a distillation column; and   (e) continuously distilling from the product of (d) the acetic acid
separately from the solvent phase under a temperature not exceeding 160°C; said
extracting and distilling steps occurring without substantially degrading said
amine to an amide, thus enhancing the efficiency of production of acetic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the analysis of methylated cytosines in DNA. In the first step of the invention unmethylated cytosines in the DNA to be analysed are chemically converted into uracil while 5-methylcytosines remain unchanged. In a second step a methylation specific oligonucleotide carrying a non-extendable 3' end is annealed to the converted DNA. Subsequently, the non-extendable 3' terminus of the oligonucleotide is removed in case the oligonucleotide is bound to the DNA with the methylation status to be detected. Finally the unblocked oligonucleotide is extended, and the methylation status is concluded form the absence or presence of an extended oligonucleotide product. The method is preferably used for diagnosis and/or prognosis of adverse events for individuals, for distinguishing cell types and tissues, or for investigating cell differentiation.

Abstract: An electromagnetic power switch comprising a rotary actuator (1) which can rotated between an on-position and an off-position and which acts upon a contact bridge carrier (5) by means of a drive element (3). Rotation into the on-position enables at least one contact bridge (9) to be lowered onto counter contacts (10) by means of said contact bridge carrier (5). If the contact bridge (9) is not welded to the counter contacts, the contact bridge (9) can be raised from the counter contacts (10) via said contact bridge carrier (5) when rotation occurs into the off-position. If the contact bridge (9) is not welded, the drive element (3) is pressed onto the rotary actuator (1). If the contact bridge (9) is welded, the drive element (3) is maintained by the contact bridge carrier (5) in a position which prevents the rotary actuator (1) from rotating into the off-position.

IPC: C07K14/815

Abstract: The tetrapeptide Phe-Asn-Pro-Arg is a structurally-optimized sequence for binding to the active site of thrombin. By conjugating this tetrapeptide or variants thereof to a C-terminal fragment of hirudin, we were able to generate a series of new multivalent inhibitors of thrombin containing only genetically encodable natural amino acids. We found that synergistic binding to both the active site and an exosite of thrombin can be enhanced through substitutions of amino acid residues at the P4, P3 and P3' sites of the active-site directed sequence, Xaa (P4)-Yaa (P3)-Pro (P2)-Arg (P1)-Pro(P1')-Gln(P2')-Zaa(P3'). Complementary to rational design, a phage library was constructed to explore further the residue requirements at the P4, P3 and P3' sites for multivalent and optimized bridge-binding. Panning of the phage library has led to thrombin-inhibitory peptides possessing strong anti-clotting activities in the low nanomolar range and yet interfering only partially with the catalytic active site of thrombin. In all, the availability of potent and genetically-encodable polypeptide inhibitors of thrombin opens the door for much wider applications of this clinically-successful class of anticoagulants, e.g. through more cost-effective recombinant peptide production, in areas such as gene therapy as well as to improve clinical efficacy/safety through the incorporation of homing peptides for targeted delivery.
