  • Methods and Systems for Using Photoswitchable Nucleic Acids to Control Hybridization Stringency
    Publication number: 20160115538
    Abstract: Compositions, methods and systems are provided that enable light-controlled hybridization between two nucleic acid sequences and further enable the characterization of one or more sequence variations between the nucleic acids.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 9, 2014
    Publication date: April 28, 2016
    Applicant: University of Washington through its Center for Commercialization

  • Sub-microsecond-resolution probe microscopy
    Patent number: 8686358
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided herein for time-resolved analysis of the effect of a perturbation (e.g., a light or voltage pulse) on a sample. By operating in the time domain, the provided method enables sub-microsecond time-resolved measurement of transient, or time-varying, forces acting on a cantilever.
    Type: Grant

  • Peptide and protein arrays and direct-write lithographic printing of peptides and proteins
    Publication number: 20050009206
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of direct-write lithographic printing of proteins and peptides onto surfaces. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for creating protein and peptide arrays and compositions derived therefrom. Nanoscopic tips can be used to deposit the peptide or protein onto the surface to produce a pattern. The pattern can be dots or lines having dot diameter and line width of less than 1,000 nm. The tips and the substrate surfaces can be adapted for the peptide and protein lithography.
