Patents by Inventor Christophe D. Reymond

Christophe D. Reymond 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).

  • Use of the regulatory subunit of the camp dependent protein kinase (PKA) from dictyostelium for camp measurements
    Patent number: 6573059
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the regulatory subunit (R) of the cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA) from Dictyostelium discoideum for cAMP detection. It includes constructs for expression of the R-subunit in E. coli and fusion to green fluorescent proteins (GFP). Fluorescence energy transfer is used as a way to monitor cAMP binding, either by using fluorescently labelled cAMP or cGMP, or by using mutant GFPs with modified absorption and emission spectra. FRET changes upon cAMP binding will allow measurement of cAMP level either in vitro or within living cells.
