Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are specific for the human and rat protease plasma kallikrein and are modified in one or two peptide loops to enhance potency and/or protease resistance.

Abstract: A method and a device for separating food products, including to permit a straight cut at high cycle rates, the food product is conveyed by a conveying device in the direction of transport. The food product is cut through, where a cutting element is moved in the direction of transport and transverse to the direction of transport, wherein the motion of the cutting element transverse to the direction of transport is controlled independently of its motion in the direction of transport and the food product does not rest on the cutting area on the conveying means.

Abstract: The invention describes peptide ligands specific for human plasma Kallikrein.

Abstract: A method for retrofitting a power plant includes the steps of: removing the original active part, removing the original non-active part, providing a new active part that is larger than the original active part, and at least partly extends over a zone that was before occupied by the original active part, and at least partly extends over a zone that was before occupied by the original non-active part, and is housed within the foundation.
