  • METHOD FOR SELF-ASSEMBLY OF A PROTEIN ON A SUBSTRATE IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20220380486
    Abstract: A method for self-assembly of a protein in a three-dimensional honeycomb structure, comprising the following consecutive steps: providing a solution comprising a solvent and a protein, the protein comprising a sequence of amino acids corresponding to an oligomerisation domain of a LEAFY protein, for example to the oligomerisation domain of Ginkgo biloba, in fusion with a tag, placing the solution in contact with a substrate, evaporating the solvent in order to crystallise the protein, the oligomerisation domain crystallising in the form of a primary helix, each primary helix interacting with six other primary helixes, whereby a three-dimensional honeycomb protein structure is obtained perpendicular to the substrate, the protein structure being attached to the substrate by the tag.

  • Transformed plants tolerant to herbicides due to overexpression of prephenate dehydrogenase and p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase
    Patent number: 10138490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transformed plants, in particular transformed plants producing larger amounts of plastoquinones, tocotrienols and tocopherols than non-transformed identical plants. This invention also relates to a method for producing these plants, and to a method for cultivating these plants. The plants according to the invention also have the property of being tolerant to herbicides that are inhibitors of the p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme.

  • Transformed plants with enhanced prenylquinone biosynthesis
    Publication number: 20050257283
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transformed plants, in particular transformed plants producing larger amounts of plastoquinones, tocotrienols and tocopherols than non-transformed identical plants. This invention also relates to a method for producing these plants, and to a method for cultivating these plants. The plants according to the invention also have the property of being tolerant to herbicides that are inhibitors of the ?-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme.
