Daniel L. Siehl has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods, systems, and software for identifying functional biomolecules
    Publication number: 20040161796
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods of rapidly and efficiently searching biologically-related data space. More specifically, the invention includes methods of identifying bio-molecules with desired properties, or which are most suitable for acquiring such properties, from complex bio-molecule libraries or sets of such libraries. The invention also provides methods of modeling sequence-activity relationships. As many of the methods are computer-implemented, the invention additionally provides digital systems and software for performing these methods.
    Type: Application

  • Method for detection of herbicides
    Patent number: 5780254
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel screening methods for identifying compounds that specifically inhibit a metabolic target site or pathway in plants. Enzymes which are specifically affected by the novel screening method include plant purine biosynthetic pathway enzymes and particularly the enzymes involved in the conversion of IMP to AMP and the conversion of IMP to GMP. Further the invention relates to a method for screening and identifying potential novel compounds that function by the same mode of action as hydantocidin, and the compositions and method of use comprising said compounds.
