  • Patent number: 11578317
    Abstract: A protein scaffold includes a plurality of EutM subunits and a multi-enzyme cascade. The multi-enzyme cascade includes a first enzyme attached to the first EutM subunit and a second enzyme attached to the second EutM subunit. The scaffold may be formed by a method that generally includes incubating a plurality of EutM subunits under conditions allowing the EutM subunits to self-assemble into a protein scaffold, attaching a first enzyme of a multi-enzyme cascade to a first EutM subunit, and attaching a second enzyme of the multi-enzyme cascade to a second EutM subunit. The scaffold may be self-assembled in vivo or in vitro. Each enzyme may be, independently of any other enzyme, attached to its EutM subunit in vivo or in vitro. Each enzyme may be, independently of any other enzyme, attached to its EutM subunit before or after the scaffold is assembled.

  • Patent number: 9697104
    Abstract: A unique identifier is provided for a transaction. The unique identifier provided by a passport library. Corresponding trace and log data is assigned to the unique identifier of the transaction. A UI trace file is generated, the UI trace file comprising the unique identifier and UI trace and log data comprised in the assigned trace and log data. The UI trace file is replicated in a centralized system database and the UI trace file is parsed to extract the unique identifier and the UI trace and log data. Detailed trace and log data is dynamically collected from systems connected to the centralized system based on the unique identifier of the transaction. Detailed trace and log data and the UI trace and log data is aggregated in an end-to-end analysis tool.

  • Patent number: 7229817
    Abstract: The invention relates to biotechnologically expressible, enzymically active recombinant porcine liver esterases, to a biotechnological method for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof in organic synthesis. The monomeric subunits of recombinant porcine liver esterase are truncated at their C-terminal end, compared with naturally occurring porcine liver esterase subunits. Moreover, it has proved to be an additional advantage to truncate the N-terminal end as well.
