  • REVERSIBLE MASKING OF PORE-FORMING PROTEINS FOR MACROMOLECULAR DELIVERY
    Publication number: 20150174265
    Abstract: The present invention features compositions and methods for enhancing endosomal escape of therapeutic agents in the cytoplasm of a cell to thereby provide more effective therapy. The endocytic pathway is the major uptake mechanism of cells, and biological agents such as proteins, DNA, and siRNA become entrapped in endosomes and subsequently degraded by lysosomal enzymes. The present invention facilitates endosomal escape by providing fusion proteins with membrane disruptive activity. In some embodiments, the fusion protein has endosomolytic activity that is activated at endosomal or lysosomal pH. In other embodiments, the fusion protein has reversible and pH sensitive membrane disruptive activity so that once internalized into the endosomal or lysosomal compartments, the resulting reduction in pH causes the pH sensitive fusion protein to activate and disrupt the endosomal or lysosomal membrane.

  • HYBRID PHOTOCATALYST FOR WASTEWATER REMEDIATION
    Publication number: 20150174567
    Abstract: The hybrid photocatalyst for wastewater remediation is a composite of rhodamine B and BiOBr. The rhodamine B has a concentration between about 0.1 wt % and about 1 wt % of the overall photocatalyst. The hybrid photocatalyst is made by immersing a BiOBr semiconductor in an aqueous rhodamine B solution to form the hybrid photocatalyst by sorption of the rhodamine B by the BiOBr semiconductor. In use, the hybrid photocatalyst is added to wastewater containing at least one contaminant, such as methyl orange (sodium 4-[(4-dimethylamino)phenyldiazenyl]benzenesulfonate), to form a suspension of the hybrid photocatalyst and the at least one contaminant. The suspension is then exposed to visible to light to form a slurry containing a reaction mixture in the wastewater. The slurry is then filtered to remove the reaction mixture.
