Title: A quantitative, high-throughput screening method for protein stability
Inventor: GHAEMMAGHAMI SINA
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: In proteomic research, it is often necessary to screen a large number of polypeptides for the presence of stable structure. Described, herein, are methods (referred to as MALDI MS-HX and SUPREX) for measuring the stability of proteins in a rapid high-throughput fashion. The method employs hydrogen exchange to estimate the stability of quantities of unpurified protein extracts, using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. A method of quantitatively determining the stability of a test protein under native conditions is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a test protein; (b) contacting the protein with an exchange buffer comprising a denaturant and deuterium, the exchange buffer having a denaturant concentration; (c) contacting the protein with a mass spectrometry matrix medium; (d) determining a change in mass of the test protein by mass spectrometry; (e) varying the denaturant concentration of the exchange buffer;  (f) repeating steps (a)-(e) a desired number of times; and (g) quantitatively determining protein stability based on the change in mass of the test protein as a function of denaturant concentration, whereby the stability of a test protein under the native conditions is quantitatively determined.

Title: Apparatus and method for reduction of bias in amperometric sensors
Inventor: GENSHAW MARVIN A
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid test sample by applying the fluid test sample to the surface of a work- ing electrode which is electrochemically connected to a reference electrode which surface bears a composition comprising an enzyme specific for the analyte. A media- tor is reduced in response to a reaction between the ana- lyte and the enzyme. An oxidizing potential is applied between the electrodes to return at least a portion of the mediator back to its oxidized form before determining the concentration of the analyte to thereby increase the accuracy of the analyte determination. Following this initially applied potential, the circuit is switched to an open circuit or to a potential that substantially re- duces the current to minimize the rate of electrochemical potential at the working electrode. A second potential is applied between the electrodes and the current gener- ated in the fluid test sample is measured to determine analyte concentration. Optionally, the accuracy of the analyte determination is further enhanced algorithmi- cally.

Inventor: MOSER DANIEL
IPC: B66B9/04
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic lift with an accumulator (16). According to the invention, a pump (13) is situated between the hydraulic drive (2) and the accumulator (16), this pump being driven by a motor (14) and providing a means for conveying hydraulic oil from the hydraulic drive (2) to the accumulator (16) and vice versa without the presence of control valves which influence the flow of hydraulic oil, such as proportionally pilot-operated valves. Since the pump (13) is subjected to the pressure PZ in the cylinder line (11) and the pressure PS in the accumulator line (15), the motor (14) of the pump (13) only has to work against the differential pressure and in certain operating states, can even function as a generator and release electrical energy through a power output device (23) controlling it. This reduces the energy requirements for operating the lift. The speed of the car (1) is controlled or regulated through the control of the motor (14) alone by a control and regulation device (25), through the power output device (23).
