  • Patent number: 8697654
    Abstract: Short single chain peptides having affinity for a target surface often lack the binding durability required for certain commercial applications. One way to improve durability is to promote multivalent binding by linking together binding sequences using peptide linkers. However, the resulting single chain binding peptides often suffer from linker entropy. It has been discovered that the use of rigid peptide linkers when linking together multiple binding sequences enhances the binding affinity of the resulting single chain peptide.

  • Patent number: 8679467
    Abstract: A dyeless all-day coloring formula that can be applied easily using a brush or other similar application tool to facial hair is an ideal way to mask the gray hair color often brought about by aging follicles. Such a formulation may have similar properties to mascara more commonly used by women to enhance the appearance of their eyelashes. However, the dyeless facial hair coloring formula will overcome the disadvantages commonly associated with currently available facial hair coloring solutions.
