  • Patent number: 12578345
    Abstract: Methods of identifying a sequence of a polypeptide within a heterogenous mixture of polypeptides, the polypeptide being immobilized to a support and having at least one labeled amino acid residue. Methods involve detecting at least one signal or signal change from the immobilized polypeptide and subjecting the polypeptide to conditions sufficient to remove at least one amino acid residue from the polypeptide.

  • Patent number: 12516203
    Abstract: Provided is an ink composition for use in drop on demand inkjet printing such as piezoelectric drop on demand inkjet printing. The ink composition has a phosphine oxide initiator and benzyl acrylate. The amount of benzyl acrylate is less than 40 wt % based on the total weight of the ink composition and the total amount of mono-functional monomers is less than 45 wt % based on the total weight of the ink composition. The phosphine oxide initiator is a bis-acyl phosphine oxide, a benzoyl alkyl phosphinate, or a mixture thereof. The ink compositions are suitable for radiation curing and have good cure properties or good adhesion properties.

  • Publication number: 20240302380
    Abstract: Identifying proteins and peptides, and more specifically large-scale sequencing of single peptides in a mixture of diverse peptides at the single molecule level is an unmet challenge in the field of protein sequencing. Herein are methods for identifying amino acids in peptides, including peptides comprising unnatural amino acids. In one embodiment, the N-terminal amino acid is labeled with a first label and an internal amino acid is labeled with a second label. In some embodiments, the labels are fluorescent labels. In other embodiments, the internal amino acid is Lysine. In other embodiments, amino acids in peptides are identified based on the fluorescent signature for each peptide at the single molecule level.
