Patents by Inventor Edward Lewis Sheldon, III

Edward Lewis Sheldon, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • SYNTHETIC CATALYTIC MIMICS OF ESTERASES, LIPASES OR DESATURASES
    Publication number: 20170022487
    Abstract: Novel synthetic catalytic structures or “synzymes,” e.g., fatty acid modified polypeptides, with catalytic properties are provided. It is believed that these synthetic catalytic structures mimic some of the precise conformational changes necessary for catalytic activities seen in enzymes. The catalytic properties of these synthetic catalytic structures or synzymes can be further improved by the application of controlled external forces, e.g., electric fields, or fluidized bed.

  • Amplification of nucleic acids with electronic detection
    Patent number: 6686150
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the detection of nucleic acids using a variety of amplification techniques, including both signal amplification and target amplification. Detection proceeds through the use of an electron transfer moiety (ETM) that is associated with the nucleic acid, either directly or indirectly, to allow electronic detection of the ETM using an electrode.
