Abstract: The current invention is in the field of molecular biology/pharmacology and provides methods of using compounds that modulate the effects of GPR30/GPER for treating obesity and diabetes (preferably agonists) as well as disease states and/or conditions that result from excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (preferably antagonists). These compounds may function as agonists and/or antagonists of the disclosed estrogen receptor and/or modulate the expression/upregulation of nox and nox-associated reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract: The current invention is in the field of molecular biology/pharmacology and provides novel 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene compounds and derivatives that modulate the effects of the classical estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERalpha and ERbeta) with little to no biological or physiological effects on the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor GPER (also known as GPR30). These compounds may function as agonists and/or antagonists of one or more of the disclosed classical estrogen receptors.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of compounds which are modulators of the G protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) for the inhibition —and/or treatment of Bacterial infections, especially including metMctHin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of bacterial pathogens, including MRSA are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to glutathione derivatized beads which are adapted for use in conjunction with glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins (generally, GST fusion proteins, which contain a fluorescent label such as fluorescent green protein) for use in flow cytometry. The present invention also relates to methods for detecting and/or quantifying interactions between a GST fusion protein and their binding partners, in particular, labeled binding partners such as fluorescently labeled binding partners. By creating glutathione beads with an appropriate high or increased site density, disadvantages often associated with low affinity systems and quick off-rates in solution may be resolved to provide a workable system and method. Methods of identifying potential agonists, antagonists and regulator compounds of proteins fused to GST from libraries of compounds represents another aspect of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to molecular assemblies, more particularly to an assay for the detection of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) molecular assemblies and bead-based detection of ligand-GPCR complexes and to methods for identifying compounds as agonists, partial agonists or antagonists of the binding of G-protein coupled receptors to G-protein and for use of these compounds in the treatment of conditions or disease states in a mammalian subject or patient, including humans, where G-protein coupled receptor binding to G-protein is implicated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a general approach for G protein coupled receptors that may be used to define agonists and antagonists, and the specificity of receptor coupling to G protein subunits. Methods of the present invention use small volumes (microliters) and are compatible with high throughput flow cytometry. When assays of the present invention are multiplexed, the specificity of the interactions of a receptor with many G proteins may be determined simultaneously.
