  • Patent number: 10053725
    Abstract: Methods, reagents, compositions, and kits for in situ interaction determination (ISID) via interaction-dependent polymerase chain reaction (ID-PCR) are provided herein. ISID technology is useful for rapidly evaluating potential small molecule-target interactions from mixtures in a single solution. ISID is compatible with unpurified targets in biological samples and can be used to evaluate ligand-binding in DNA-encoded chemical libraries in cell lysates. ISID is also useful to screen ligand interactions of proteins or other molecules in their native state, including their native post-translational modifications and any interactions with accessory proteins and metabolites, in ways that better reflect their relevant biological environment. Because ISID is compatible with crude cell lysates, difficult-to-purify, poorly soluble, intrinsically unstable, and aggregation-prone targets may also be compatible with this method, without requiring truncation or other strategies used to promote heterologous expression.

  • Patent number: 10011868
    Abstract: Methods, reagents, compositions, and kits for reactivity-dependent polymerase chain reaction (RD-PCR) and interaction-dependent polymerase chain reaction (ID-PCR) are provided herein. RD-PCR is a technique useful for determining whether a reactive moiety can form a covalent bond to a target reactive moiety, for example, in screening a library of candidate reactive moieties for reactivity with a target reactive moiety, and in identifying an enzyme substrate, for example, in protease substrate profiling. ID-PCR is a technique useful for determining whether a ligand can non-covalently bind to a target molecule, for example, in screening a library of candidate ligands for non-covalent interaction with a target molecule. RD-PCR and ID-PCR are also useful in detecting the presence of an analyte or an environmental condition.

  • Publication number: 20060185615
    Abstract: What is provided is a device and method for gentling equine, other animals, and in some cases a human of which is obtained through the actions of massage, grooming and pole-gentling methodologies and protocols in which it is thoroughly and effectively enabled by an apparatus comprised of three essential hand-tool components: the elongated extension-pole control handle, the cylindrical nodulated massage/gentler tool-head attachment shaft that emits auto-mechanical vibration stimulus, and the cylindrical cone-shaped bristle covered massage/gentler, groomer, exfoliator, tool-head attachment shaft which provides dander exfoliation, body and leg stimulus. Used regularly in succession or independently, animal gentling, animal health and core relationship foundations can be achieved and maintained.
