  • Methods and reagents for assaying protein kinase activity
    Patent number: 7727950
    Abstract: A kit of parts comprising two or more protein kinase substrate polypeptides, each said substrate polypeptide comprising a specificity conferring portion (which is different for each said kinase substrate polypeptide) and a phosphorylatable portion, wherein the phosphorylatable portions of each polypeptide are capable of being bound in a phosphorylation state-sensitive manner by the same specific binding partner, for example and antibody preparation, and wherein the said specific binding partner is not an antibody specific for phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. The phosphorylatable portion preferably comprises the amino acid sequence LSFAEPG.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2010
    Assignee: The University of Dundee
    Inventors: Chris Armstrong, Philip Cohen
  • Data storage device
    Patent number: 7284089
    Abstract: A data storage device comprises a non-volatile, re-writable solid state memory 10 having relatively high and low speed ports 12, 14 allowing data to be written into the memory via the high speed port at a substantially faster speed that it is read out from the low speed port, and a memory control 16 for controlling the writing and reading of data to and from the memory.
    Type: Grant
