| 435187000 | Preparing granular- or free-flowing enzyme composition | 9 |
| 20080206832 | Selection and Enrichment of Proteins Using in vitro Compartmentalization - Compositions and methods are provided for selection and enrichment of a target gene from a library of polynucleotide sequences such as might be formed from a genome or by random mutagenesis of a genetic sequence. The selection and enrichment occurs in aqueous droplets formed in an emulsion that compartmentalize individual polynucleotides from the library or a plurality of polynucleotides that may include polynucleotides not derived from the library, transcription and translation reagents and optionally additional chemical and enzyme reagents. The selection and enrichment method utilizes a polynucleotide adaptor which when ligated to the polynucleotide fragment enables amplification to occur in the presence of an adaptor specific primer. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090197316 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING PARTICLES OF PROTEINACEOUS MATERIAL - Protein particles are prepared by causing or allowing protein molecules dispersed in a liquid medium at a concentration of 8 mg.mL-1 or greater to react in the presence of a zero-length crosslinker, so as to produce protein particles comprising protein molecules that are covalently bonded together. The protein particles may be produced with sizes in the sub-micron range with closely defined sizes and size distributions. The particles have applications in many fields, but are useful inter alia for the delivery of therapeutic agents and other agents, eg imaging contrast agents, to the body. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090291483 | Enzyme Granulate - The invention relates to an enzyme-containing granule comprising a core unit and a shell unit, wherein the core unit comprises the enzyme and is enclosed in a shell unit which is substantially enzyme-free, the ratio between the diameter of the granule and the diameter of the core unit being at least 1.1. Also processes for producing such granules and use of the granules are disclosed. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100035325 | Microcapsules and methods of use for amplification and sequencing - The present invention discloses thermostable microcapsules comprising a semipermeable membrane, an aqueous core, one or more enzymes in the aqueous core, and a nucleic acid template for an enzyme-mediated reaction in the aqueous core. In one embodiment of the invention, the aqueous core contains one or more polymerases. Microcapsules of the invention can be used in amplification and sequencing reactions. In particular, the microcapsules of the present invention can be used for high-throughput sequencing. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20110065163 | Small Enzyme-Containing Granules - The invention provides small enzyme-containing granules having an inorganic salt core and an enzyme-containing layer coated over the core, and methods for producing such granules. The majority of the enzyme granules are less than 300 μm in diameter. The granules are suitable for incorporation into compositions such as cleaning, textile processing, and animal feed compositions. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110195477 | MICROCAPSULES AND METHODS OF USE FOR AMPLIFICATION AND SEQUENCING - The present invention discloses thermostable microcapsules comprising a semipermeable membrane, an aqueous core, one or more enzymes in the aqueous core, and a nucleic acid template for an enzyme-mediated reaction in the aqueous core. In one embodiment of the invention, the aqueous core contains one or more polymerases. Microcapsules of the invention can be used in amplification and sequencing reactions. In particular, the microcapsules of the present invention can be used for high-throughput sequencing. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20130288332 | SMALL ENZYME-CONTAINING GRANULES - The invention provides small enzyme-containing granules having an inorganic salt core and an enzyme-containing layer coated over the core, and methods for producing such granules. The majority of the enzyme granules are less than 300 μm in diameter. The granules are suitable for incorporation into compositions such as cleaning, textile processing, and animal feed compositions. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20130337531 | RECOVERY OF INSOLUBLE ENZYME FROM FERMENTATION BROTH AND FORMULATION OF INSOLUBLE ENZYME - Methods are provided for recovery and formulation of insoluble enzymes from a microbial fermentation broth, without removal of microbial cells or cell debris. Granular and liquid formulations comprising insoluble enzymes are also provided. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140220655 | METHOD FOR FORMING NANOPARTICLES HAVING PREDETERMINED SHAPES - Articles and methods for forming nanostructures having unique and/or predetermined shapes are provided. The methods and articles may involve the use of nucleic acid containers as structural molds. For instance, a pre-designed nucleic acid container including a cavity may be used to control the shape-specific growth of nanoparticles. Growth of the nanoparticles within the cavities may be confined by the specific shape of the nucleic acid container. In some embodiments, the resulting nucleic acid-nanoparticle structures can be used to control the orientation and numbers of surface ligands on the surface of nanoparticles. The addressability of the surface ligands can be used to form higher ordered assemblies of the structures. | 08-07-2014 |
