Title: Amino acid modified polypeptides
Inventor: ZHANG GUANGHUI
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: Incorporation of certain amino acid analogs into polypeptides produced by cells which do not ordinarily provide polypeptides containing such amino acid analogs is accomplished by subjecting the cells to growth media containing such amino acid analogs. The degree of incorporation can be regulated by adjusting the concentration of amino acid analogs in the media and/or by adjusting osmolality of the media.  Such incorporation allows the chemical and physical characteristics of polypeptides to be altered and studied. In addition, nucleic acid and corresponding proteins including a domain from a physiologically active peptide and a domain from an extracellular matrix protein which is capable of providing a self-aggregate are provided. Human extracellular matrix proteins capable of providing a self-aggregate collagen are provided which are produced by prokaryotic cells. Preferred codon usage is employed to produce extracellular matrix proteins in prokaryotics.

Title: Improved preparation of molecular imprinted polymers
Inventor: KRISTENSEN JESPER SVENNING
IPC: C08J9/00
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: One aspect is a method for improved preparation of molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) particles, where initial compositions comprising insoluble MIP particles are enriched for those MIP particles that bind a particular target molecule, thus excluding non-binding and weakly binding particles from the final composition. Enrichment is typically accomplished via use of chromatographic methods capable of separating particulate material or by means of agglutination. Another aspect is preparation of improved insoluble MIPs by use of extended micronization of raw MIP particles with a view to expose a large number of binding sites per mass unit of MIP particles. In preferred embodiments the two aspects are combined. The resulting improved MIPs may be used for diagnostic, analytical and therapeutic purposes, notably as orally administered drugs which can bind substances such as cholesterol and bile acids and bile acid salts in the gastrointestinal tract.

IPC: A61B18/24
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying energy to a target path on a tissue surface includes moving a proximal end of an energy source in a first direction by a first distance. During a first portion of the first distance, the source is in a non- energized mode. During a second portion of the first distance, the source in an energized mode. The proximal end is moved in a second direction along the path opposite the first direction and by a distance less than the first distance.
