Agnieszka Banbula has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Prolyl tripeptidyl peptidases nucleic acid of Porphyromonas gingivalis
    Patent number: 6875851
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated polypeptides, prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidases, and active analogs, active fragments or active modifications thereof, having amidolytic activity for cleavage of a peptide bond present in a target peptide having at least 30 amino acids. Isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding isolated prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidases are also provided, as are methods of reducing growth of a bacterium by inhibiting a prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2000
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2005
    Assignee: University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: James Travis, Jan Potempa, Agnieszka Banbula
  • Dipeptidylpeptidases and methods of use
    Patent number: 6864363
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated polypeptides, dipeptidylpeptidases, active analogs, active fragments, or active modifications thereof, having amidolytic activity for cleavage of a peptide bond between the second and third amino acids from the N-terminal end of a target polypeptide, wherein the target polypeptide has an aliphatic or an aromatic residue as a substituent on the ?-carbon atom of the second amino acid from the N-terminal end of the peptide. Isolated nucleic acids encoding dipeptidylpeptidases are also provided, as are methods of reducing growth of a bacterium by inhibiting a dipeptidylpeptidase.
    Type: Grant
