Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying and/or rank ordering target polypeptides that interact with a candidate polypeptide. Potential targets for the candidate polypeptide are identified using an interaction assay. A set of mutants are derived from the candidate polypeptide and a functional profile is obtained for the set of mutants and the candidate polypeptide. Also, for each identified potential target, an interaction profile is obtained for the set of mutants and the candidate polypeptide. The interaction profiles are compared to the functional profile and based on the degree of correspondence between the profiles, the potential targets are identified and/or rank ordered as target polypeptides that interact to the candidate polypeptide.

Abstract: A pressure vacuum breaker cover assembly for protecting a vacuum breaker while simultaneously improving the appearance. The inventive device includes a pair of covers having a shell structure attachable to one another about a vacuum breaker. Each of the covers includes a lip that mates with the opposing cover lip, a plurality of apertures that allow the securing of the covers together with a conventional fastener, a lower cutout for receiving a lower pipe, and a side cutout for receiving an upper pipe from the vacuum breaker. The covers are preferably constructed of a STYROFOAM or polyfoam material for insulating and protecting the vacuum breaker and pipes. The exterior surface of the covers may be painted to match the exterior of the building structure.
