Title: A chemical method for selective modification of the n- and/or c-terminal amino acid .alpha.-carbon reactive group of a recombinant polypeptide or a portion thereof
Inventor: STOUT JAY
IPC: C07K1/12
Filed: 1993-07-13
Abstract: The invention provides for a chemical method for preparing a recombinant single copy polypeptide or a portion thereof with a modified terminal amino acid .alpha.-carbon reactive group selected from the group consisting of N-terminal .alpha.-amine, C-termi-nal .alpha.-carboxyl, and a combination thereof. The steps of the method involve forming the recombinant single copy polypeptide or a portion thereof so that the single copy polypeptide is protected with one or more biologically added protecting groups at the N-terminal .alpha.-amine, C-terminal .alpha.-carboxyl. The recombinant single copy polypeptide can then be reacted with up to three chemical protecting agents to selectively protect reactive side chain groups and thereby prevent side chain groups from being modified. The recombinant single copy polypeptide can be cleaved with at least one cleavage reagent specific for the biological protecting group to form an unprotected terminal amino acid .alpha.-carbon reactive group. The unprotected terminal amino acid .alpha.-carbon reactive group is modified with at least one chemical modifying agent. The side chain protected terminally modified single copy polypep-tide is then deprotected at the side chain groups to form a terminally modified recombinant single copy polypeptide. The number and sequence of steps in the method can be varied to achieve selective modification at the N- and/or C-terminal amino acid of a recombinantly produced polypeptide.

Title: Methods for in-solution quenching of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes
Inventor: FISHER MARY ELLEN
IPC: C12Q1/6823
Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for controlling the light emission of an oligonucleotide labeled with a light-emitting label that are useful in nucleic acid detection assays. A reaction that results in the cleavage of single-stranded oligonucleotide probes labeled with a light-emitting label is carried out in the presence of a DNA binding compound that interacts with the label to modify the light emission of the label. The methods utilize the change in light emission of the labeled probe that results from degradation of the probe. The methods are applicable in general to assays that utilize a reaction that results in cleavage of oligonucleotide probes, and, in particular, to homogeneous amplification/detection assays wherein hybridized probe is cleaved concomitant with primer extension. A homogeneous amplification/detection assay is provided which allows the simultaneous detection of the accumulation of amplified target and the sequence-specific detection of the target sequence.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a directional antenna (12) of a remote ground terminal (6) which transmits and receives signals to and from a satellite (4) via the antenna (12).      The apparatus includes a signal generator (52) for producing a frequency variable reference signal (35) having a variable duty cycle, and a controller (55) which operates to analyze the signals received from the satellite (4) and to vary the duty cycle of the reference signal (35) in accordance with an identification tag forming part of the received signals.  The apparatus further includes a detector which receives the reference signal (35) and produces an antenna pointing signal (77) having an average amplitude proportional to the duty cycle of the reference signal (35). The controller (55) commands the signal generator (52) to produce a reference signal (35) having a first duty cycle when a signal having an identification tag not corresponding to a designated central hub station (5) is received by the antenna (12), and a reference signal (35) having a second duty cycle when a signal having an identification tag corresponding to the designated central hub station (5) is received by the antenna (12). The reference signal (35) having the first duty cycle causes the average amplitude of the antenna pointing signal (77) to equal a first value, while a reference signal (35) having the second duty cycle causes the average amplitude of the antenna pointing signal (77) to equal a second value. During installation, the antenna (12) is rotated until the average amplitude of the antenna pointing signal (77) equals the second value.
