  • OPLOPHORUS-DERIVED LUCIFERASES, NOVEL COELENTERAZINE SUBSTRATES, AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20240158831
    Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encoding a modified luciferase polypeptide and substrates. The OgLuc variant polypeptide has at least 60% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 and at least one amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to an amino acid in SEQ ID NO: 1. The OgLuc variant polypeptide has at least one of enhanced luminescence, enhanced signal stability, and enhanced protein stability relative to the corresponding polypeptide of the wild-type Oplophorus luciferase.

  • Systems, methods, and apparatuses for producing and packaging fluids
    Patent number: 11980587
    Abstract: A liquid concentrate generation system may comprise a manifold having an inlet receptacle including a first piercing member, an outlet receptacle including a second piercing member, and a flow channel connecting the inlet receptacle and outlet receptacle. The system may further comprise a cartridge having an inlet port and an outlet port sealed by a respective first and second cover. The inlet and outlet port may be respectively configured to displace within the inlet receptacle and outlet receptacle from an unspiked position to a spiked position. First and second piercing members may be in communication with the flow channel and spaced apart respectively from the first and second cover in the unspiked position. The first and second piercing members may be isolated from the flow channel and may respectively puncture the first and second cover in the spiked position.

  • System and method for a precompiled database for biomolecular sequence information
    Patent number: 6389428
    Abstract: A computer system stores biomolecular data in a database in a memory. The biomolecular database has a set of entities. Each entity stores attributes for a plurality of entries. At least one attribute is stored in an array. Data associated with an entry is stored at a location in the array. An entity offset designates the location of the data in the array. The same entity offset value is used to access data associated with a particular entry for all attributes within the entity.
