Patents by Inventor Amy Szepui Tam

Amy Szepui Tam 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).

  • Crystals of an acyl carrier protein synthase/acyl carrier protein complex
    Patent number: 7135319
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the crystal structure of Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase (ACPS) complexed with Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP), the solution structure of B. subtilis ACP, and to the use of these structures in rational drug design methods to identify agents that may interact with active sites of ACPS and ACP, and to the testing of these agents to identify agents that may represent novel antibiotics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2006
    Assignee: Wyeth
    Inventors: Kevin Delos Parris, William Stuart Somers, Amy Szepui Tam, Laura Long Lin, Mark Lloyd Stahl
  • Methods for identifying an agent that interacts with an active site of acyl carrier protein synthase or acyl carrier protein synthase complex
    Patent number: 6957150
    Abstract: This invention is directed to Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase (ACPS) crystals and crystals of Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase-Coenzyme A (ACPS-CoA) complex, and to the use of these crystals to determine the three dimensional structure of ACPS. This invention is further directed to the use of rational drug design methods to identify agents that may interact with active sites of ACPS and ACPS-CoA complex, and to the testing of these agents to identify agents that may inhibit ACPS and/or ACPS-CoA complex activity.
