  • Publication number: 20230390759
    Abstract: An assay device includes a first flow channel of a first size and a second flow channel of a second size disposed within a planar substrate, the second size being larger than the first size. The first flow channel is configured to receive a liquid sample and allow a first flow of the liquid sample within the first flow channel whereby a first analyte of the liquid sample is distributed within the first flow channel as a first monolayer. The second flow channel is configured to receive the liquid sample and allow a second flow of the liquid sample within the second flow channel whereby a second analyte of the liquid sample is distributed within the second flow channel as a second monolayer. The first analyte has higher population density within the liquid sample compared to the second analyte.

  • Publication number: 20120288905
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated nucleic acids comprising nucleotide sequences encoding isoprenoid modifying enzymes, as well as recombinant vectors comprising the nucleic acids. The present invention further provides genetically modified host cells comprising a subject nucleic acid or recombinant vector. The present invention further provides a transgenic plant comprising a subject nucleic acid. The present invention further provides methods of producing an isoprenoid compound, the method generally involving culturing a subject genetically modified host cell under conditions that permit synthesis of an isoprenoid compound modifying enzyme encoded by a subject nucleic acid.

  • Publication number: 20080233623
    Abstract: The present invention provides genetically modified host cells that exhibit modified activity levels of one or more gene products such that, when a cytochrome P450 enzyme is produced in the genetically modified host cell, the modified activity levels of the one or more gene products provide for enhanced production and/or activity of the cytochrome P450 enzyme. The present invention provides methods of producing a cytochrome P450 enzyme in a host cell, generally involving culturing a subject genetically modified host cell in a suitable culture medium. The present invention further provides methods of producing a product of a P450-dependent oxidation, generally involving culturing a subject genetically modified host cell in a suitable culture medium.
