Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating neoplastic disease whereby gene therapy treatments are employed in combination with a chemotherapy regime. A combinational therapy with anti-neoplastic alkylating agents will optimize host tumor sensitivity to these agents used alone or in combination with O6-benzylguanine (BG) or a similar compound or compounds. Hematopoietic cells are infected with a transgene expressing a mutant AGT protein exhibiting DNA repair activity while imparting resistance to BG or a related compound. Introduction of the transduced hematopoietic cell population expressing the mutant AGT protein into the patient in tandem with the chemotherapeutic regime will substantially reduce myelosuppression traditionally associated with the administration of these anti-neoplastic drugs.

Abstract: A computer-based method for the identification of binding targets in proteins and other macromolecules. More particularly, the invention includes an algorithm aimed at predicting binding targets in proteins. This algorithm, named Woolford, requires knowledge of the high resolution structure of the protein but no knowledge of the location or identity of natural binding sites or ligands. Binding targets in the protein are identified and classified according to their expected optimal affinities. Binding targets can be located at the protein surface or at internal surfaces that become exposed as a result of partial unfolding, conformational changes, subunit dissociation, or other events. The entire protein is mapped according to the binding potential of its constituent atoms. Once binding targets are identified, optimal ligands are designed and progressively built by the addition of individual atoms that complement structurally and energetically the selected target. This algorithm is expected to have significant applications in structure-based drug design since it allows: 1) identification of binding targets in proteins; 2) identification of additional targets if the primary target is known; 3) design of ligand molecules with optimal binding affinities for the selected target; and 4) refinement of lead compounds by defining the location and nature of chemical groups for optimal binding affinity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and configuration for testing digital protection devices in which a data processing energy supply network is emulated by means of pulsed output of digital current and voltage signals. To this end, utilizing one such method, corresponding currents and voltages are constructed and supplied to a protection device which is to be tested. In order to test protection devices as realistically as possible with comparatively simple data processing equipment, the fetched out digital current and voltage signals (J', U') are first buffered in succession at the beginning of the testing of the protection device (6). After achieving a predetermined consistency of the buffered signals (Iz, Uz), the respective oldest buffered signals (Iz, Uz) are read out in a clock-pulse manner and most recent fetched out signals (J', U') are buffered. In the occurrence of a tripping signal, reading out is continued in a pulsed manner and data processing network specific digital current and voltage signals are fetched out and buffered.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing biosorbents by phosphorylation of cellulose-containing materials with phosphoric acid or ammonium phosphate in the presence of urea. Also disclosed are biosorbents with particular good use properties. Biosorbents of this type are used, in particular, for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Proceeding from the disadvantages of the known prior art, purification costs of resultant raw products should be lowered and the formation of unwanted soluble organic polymer phosphates as by-products should be prevented. The biosorbents should have an improved mechanical strength and very good use properties. The disclosed biosorbents contain 5-10 % phosphorus and 1-4 % nitrogen in the form of carbamide groups. The synthesis mixture is mixed with elementary sulphur before starting the reaction in order to produce biosorbents with an increased mechanical strength. The proposed procedure allows reducing the otherwise customary reaction temperatures by about 40° C.
