  • Cancer specific radiolabeled conjugates regulated by the cell cycle for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer
    Patent number: 7220730
    Abstract: Radiolabeled conjugates are disclosed which have a component that is effective to target tumor cells, which cells selectively take up and degrade the conjugate, thereby delivering to the tumor cell nucleus a radioisotope capable of being incorporated into the nuclear material, so as to produce a cytotoxic effect and/or to render the cell detectable by radioimaging.

  • Microprocessor resistant to power analysis
    Patent number: 7205794
    Abstract: A secure microprocessor is designed using quad-coded logic which is similar to dual-rail encoded asynchronous logic except that the ‘11’ state propagates an alarm. The alarm signal obliterates secure data in its path. Quad-coded logic provides resilience to power glitches and single-transistor or single-wire failures. The already low data dependency of the power consumption makes power analysis attacks difficult, and they are made even more difficult by inserting random delays in data and control paths, and by a set-random-carry instruction which enables software to make a non-deterministic choice between equivalent instruction sequences. These features are particularly easy to implement well in quad-coded logic.

  • Polyketides and their synthesis
    Patent number: 7198922
    Abstract: A polyketide synthase (“PKS”) of Type I is a complex multienzyme including a loading domain linked to a multiplicity of extension domains. The first extension module receives an acyl starter unit from the loading domain and each extension module adds a further ketide unit which may undergo processing (e.g. reduction). We have found that the Ksq domain possessed by some PKS's has decarboxylating activity, e.g. generating (substituted) acyl from (substituted) malonyl. The CLF domain of type II PKS's has similar activity. By inserting loading modules including such domains into PKS's not normally possessing them it is possible to control the starter units used.
