Abstract: Described are effervescent dissolvable solid structures comprising effervescent agglomerated particles which enhance the consumer experience and can improve dissolution of the structure. Also described are processes for the Dissolvable Solid Structure comprising effervescent agglomerated particles. Also described are methods for making the effervescent agglomerated particle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lipoprotein cage for intracellular delivery of cargo, said lipoprotein cage comprises (i) a protein cage comprising at least one polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence I consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said protein cage possesses a positively charged interior; and (ii) a surfactant composition comprising one or more amphiphiles, wherein the one or more amphiphiles are selected such that the net charge of the composition is negative, wherein said surfactant composition is encapsulated into the assembled protein cage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for production of DNA particles and use thereof. The DNA particles can be produced by amplification of nucleic acid molecule(s). Alternatively, DNA particles can be prepared by condensing multiple DNA molecules. The DNA condensation into a particle is mainly triggered by pyrophosphate and positively charged cations (e.g. magnesium). DNA particles can be applied for numerous biological applications but not limited to directed evolution, proteomics, drug delivery and imaging. DNA particles can be used to synthesize proteins using in vitro transcription/translation reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides self-assembling into nanoparticles. In particular, the invention relates to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence I (SEQ ID NO: 1), a nucleic acid sequence encoding said polypeptide, a nanoparticle comprising at least one polypeptide of the invention, a complex comprising said nanoparticle and one or more cargo molecules, and a method for transfecting a cell with said complex.

Abstract: Molecules that catalyze the reaction of a cyclic conjugated diene having a fugitive leaving group in a five- or six-membered ring containing the conjugated double bonds and a dienophile that contains a reactive multiple bond to form a reaction product that contains a five- or six-membered ring and at least two endocyclic double bonds from a Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddition/fragmentation reaction that is followed by a reverse Diels-Alder reaction are disclosed. The catalyst molecules contain an antibody combining site that immunoreacts with an antigen whose structure (i) includes a [2.2.1] or [2.2.2] bicyclic ring system that is absent from the reaction product and (ii) contains at least one endocyclic double bond fewer than the number of endocyclic double bonds present in the reaction product. Methods of preparing and using the catalyst molecules are also disclosed.
