Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for improved proteinaceous block copolymer fibers based on long repeat units having molecular weight of greater than about 10 kDal. Each repeat unit includes more than about 150 amino acid residues that are organized into a number of “quasi-repeat units.” The fibers have improved mechanical properties that better recapitulate those of the native silk fibers.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for recombinant protein fiber yarns engineered to have desirable properties along with textiles made using such yarns. Recombinant protein fibers (RPFs) whose properties can be influenced by their composition, structure and processing to obtain improved combinations of mechanical properties, chemical properties, and antimicrobial properties for a given application are presented, along with methods of producing those fibers. The present disclosure also presents filament yarns, spun yarns, and blended yarns formed using these fibers that can be used to manufacture textiles suitable for different applications. Additionally, the combinations of RPFs with certain properties, and yarns and textiles produced from those yarns with certain structures yield yarns and textiles with certain properties designed for various applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure identifies methods and compositions for modifying organisms, such that the organisms are optimized to produce or are enhanced to produce proteins or metabolites from cells. The present disclosure relates to methods of strain optimization to produce or enhance production of proteins or metabolites from cells. The present disclosure also relates to compositions resulting from those methods.

Abstract: An imaging system consisting of a cell-phone with camera as the detection part of an optical train which includes other components. Optionally, an illumination system to create controlled contrast in the sample. Uses include but are not limited to disease diagnosis, symptom analysis, and post-procedure monitoring, and other applications to humans, animals, and plants.
