Patent number: 12516203Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: Domino Printing Sciences PLCInventors: Josephine Harries, Natasha Jeremic, Simon Goddard, Amber Johnson, Thomas Lake, Yuichi Matsushita, Martin Thompson, Andrew Kyriacou

Publication number: 20240302380Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Edward MARCOTTE, Eric V. ANSLYN, Andrew ELLINGTON, Jagannath SWAMINATHAN, Erik HERNANDEZ, Amber JOHNSON, Alexander BOULGAKOV, James L. BACHMAN, Helen SEIFERT
