Patents by Inventor Christine Schnitzler

Christine Schnitzler 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).

  • Long-wavelength FPs
    Patent number: 7326771
    Abstract: Two long-wavelength fluorescent proteins isolated from the strawberry anemone, Corynactis californica are provided. These proteins are homologous to known fluorescent proteins, but their unique properties, including yellow or red color of emission, can find use in replacing and supplementing known fluorescent proteins. In addition, because of their longer wavelength absorption and emission spectra, they can be used in energy transfer applications with the known shorter wavelength fluorescent proteins and non-proteinaceous fluorescers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2008
    Assignee: Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
    Inventors: Steven Haddock, Christine Schnitzler, Robert Keenan, Robert McCord
