  • Patent number: 7772388
    Abstract: A method to identify a high affinity nucleic acid ligand to inhibit the activity of a lactamase enzyme. The method comprises several steps that initially involve preparing a candidate mixture of nucleic acids. The candidate mixture of nucleic acids is then allowed to make contact with the lactamase enzyme under controlled conditions of temperature, ionic strength and pH; the combination forms a candidate-enzyme mixture. The target nucleic acids are partitioned from the remainder of the candidate mixture. The target nucleic acids that have been partitioned are amplified to yield a pool of nucleic acids enriched with target nucleic acid sequences. The enriched pool of target nucleic acids have a relatively higher affinity and specificity for binding to the lactamase, whereby nucleic acid ligand of the lactamase are identified. Nucleic acid ligands that inhibit an activity of lactamase. The lactamase includes class B, metallo-?-lactamase.

  • Patent number: 7589042
    Abstract: Disclosed is an arylphenoxy catalyst system for producing an ethylene homopolymer or copolymers of ethylene and ?-olefins, and a method of producing an ethylene homopolymer or copolymers of ethylene and ?-olefins having a high molecular weight under a high temperature solution polymerization condition using the same. The catalyst system includes a group 4 arylphenoxy-based transition metal catalyst and an aluminoxane cocatalyst or a boron compound cocatalyst. In the transition metal catalyst, a cyclopentadienyl derivative and arylphenoxide as fixed ligands are located around the group 4 transition metal, arylphenoxide is substituted with at least one aryl derivative and is located at the ortho position thereof, and the ligands are not crosslinked to each other. The catalyst includes non-toxic raw materials, synthesis of the catalyst is economical, and thermal stability of the catalyst is excellent.
