Dennis Flint 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).

  • Sinapoylglucose:malate sinapoyltransferase form malate conjugates from benozic acid glucosides
    Patent number: 6642036
    Abstract: A gene has been isolated from Arabidopsis encoding sinapoylglucose:malate sinapoyltransferase (SMT). SMT is responsible for the substitution of a glucose moiety on aromatic acid glucosides with a malate moiety in plant vacuoles. The enzyme is useful for the production of small molecules for materials manufacture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 4, 2003
    Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Dennis Flint, Knut Meyer, Paul Viitanen
  • 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid 8- phosphate synthases
    Publication number: 20030145351
    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a KDO 8-P synthase. A recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of the KDO 8-P synthase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the KDO 8-P synthase in a transformed host cell. The isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding a KDO 8-P synthase are useful in herbicide, fungicide, bactericide, and pesticide discovery and design.
