Patent number: 10514384Abstract: A method for high throughput discovery of proteins fluorescently labeled at a cysteine residue and that undergo a change in fluorescence ratio at 2 wavelengths upon binding an unbound analyte is described. Probes are disclosed which are labeled at a cysteine residue and also probes labeled at both cysteine and lysine with two different fluorophores. These probes are useful for characterization and measurement of hydrophobic species in a fluid sample, particularly characterization and measurement of levels of unbound free fatty acids. A profile of unbound free fatty acids can be determined for an individual which can be used to determine the individual's relative risk for disease.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Inventors: Alan Marc Kleinfeld, Andrew Henry Huber, James Patrick Kampf, Thomas Kwan, Baolong Zhu

Patent number: 9164109Abstract: Methods of determining levels of unbound metabolites are disclosed. Probes derived from fatty acid binding protein muteins are described that bind preferentially to a number of unbound metabolites including oleate, stearate, linoleate, palmitate, arachidonate and unconjugated bilirubin. A profile for a patient is determined using one or more of the described probes. The profile is useful in diagnosis of disease, particularly myocardial infarction, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, stroke, sepsis and neonatal jaundice. The responses of multiple probes to a test sample are used to classify the degree of acute coronary syndrome by comparison to multi-probe profiles generated from unstable angina, non ST elevation myocardial infarction, and ST elevation myocardial infarction.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Inventors: Alan Marc Kleinfeld, Andrew Henry Huber, James Patrick Kampf, Thomas Kwan, Baolong Zhu

Patent number: 5578229Abstract: A method and laser cutting system for cutting a secondary piece from a board is disclosed. A board is provided having a generally planar first and second surfaces separated by a predetermined distance or thickness and having a central plane located midway between the first and second surfaces. First and second lenses are arranged relative to the board with the focal point of the respective first and second lenses disposed intermediate the first and second surfaces of the board. Laser beams from a pair of lasers are propagated through the respective lenses with each laser beam converging at the focal point of its respective lens and cutting the workpiece from its respective surface toward the other surface. Ideally, the focused beams diverge sufficiently along the cutting path such that each laser beam reduces in intensity sufficiently so as not to cause harm to the opposing laser delivering systems or support structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1994Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Michigan State UniversityInventors: Vladmir Barnekov, Henry A.
