Patent CA-2457754-A1 (CA)
Title: Terminal-phosphate-labeled nucleotides and methods of use
Inventor: NELSON JOHN
IPC: C12Q1/42
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: The present invention describes methods of detecting a nucleic acid in a sample, based on the use of terminal-phosphate-labeled nucleotides as substrates for nucleic acid polymerases. The methods provided by this invention utilize a nucleoside polyphosphate, dideoxynucleoside polyphosphat e, or deoxynucleoside polyphosphate analogue which has a colorimetric dye, chemiluminescent, or fluorescent moiety, a mass tag or an electrochemical ta g attached to the terminal-phosphate. When a nucleic acid polymerase uses this analogue as a substrate, an enzyme-activatable label would be present on the inorganic polyphosphate by-product of phosphoryl transfer. Cleavage of the polyphosphate product of phosphoryl transfer via phosphatase leads to a detectable change in the label attached thereon. When the polymerase assay i s performed in the presence of a phosphatase, there is provided a convenient method for real-time monitoring of DNA or RNA synthesis and detection of a target nucleic acid.

Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: Hockey pucks visually modified for training purposes and methods of using same are provided. The pucks are intended to develop the visual acuity and hand-eye coordination of hockey players to improve game play. In one embodiment, each training puck is partially or entirely white (or some other light color) on its upper and lower flat surfaces, or on its circumferential side surface, or both. In use, players may begin by using a training puck with a relatively large dark portion. After they become accustomed to such a training puck, a puck with a smaller diameter dark portion could be substituted. This process would continue until pucks with very small dark portions were used.  The training pucks can be sold or used separately or as part of a training kit comprising multiple pucks of varying appearance. Pucks adapted for training both skaters and goaltenders are described.
