Abstract: This invention provides chelating moieties that comprise an aryl group. Monomers that include the chelating moieties can be polymerized into chelating polymers. Chelating polymers are useful to chelate metals. Chelating polymers in the form of metal chelates are useful for binding analytes, such as polypeptides that comprise histidine residues. Chelating polymers can be includes in articles such as chips and chromatographic materials.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of monitoring the production of a target polypeptide by generating surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectral profiles of samples taken from multiple cell culture batches or of samples taken at different times from a given batch. The invention additionally provides methods for monitoring the purification of a target polypeptide from a mixture by generating surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectral profiles of samples taken at various times during a purification process. In addition, the invention relates to methods of identifying conditions that can be used in increasing the scale of a given purification process.

Abstract: Certain biomarkers and biomarker combinations are useful in a qualifying ischaemic heart disease status in a patient. A diagnostic methodology employing these biomarkers and combinations can distinguish between ischaemic heart disease and normal, as well as between cases of severe myocardial infarction versus mild myocardial infarction.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and kits for purifying a target protein group. The method comprises the steps of contacting a sample comprising at least 95% of the target protein group and at most 5% of contaminating proteins with a library of binding moieties having different binding moieties, binding the contaminating proteins and a minority of the target protein group to the library of binding moieties, separating the unbound target protein group from the proteins bound to the library of binding moieties and collecting the unbound target protein. The collected target protein is more pure than the target protein group in the sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of molecular biology, combinatorial chemistry and biochemistry. Particularly, the present invention describes apparatus and methods for the detection and isolation of binding partners and activity modulators for biomolecules. The apparatus described allows for expression, capture and analysis of one or more biomolecules in a single step.

Abstract: The present invention provides materials and methods for simultaneously analyzing multiple kinase substrates and products using mass spectrometry.

Abstract: The present invention provides materials and methods for simultaneously analyzing multiple components of a biological pathway (e.g., signal transduction, immunological, plasma enzyme mediated, cell cycle or developmental cycle).
