  • Electrothermal coating with nanostructures mixture and method for making the same
    Patent number: 10329435
    Abstract: An electrothermal coating can include a nanostructure mixture randomly dispersed in a polymer matrix with more than one type of low-dimensional nanostructure. These types of low-dimensional nanostructures can include a combination of a nanospheroid plus one or both of a linear nanostructure and a planar nanostructure. Useful conductivity is achieved, while concentration of the mixed nanostructures is within the cured polymer composite coating being below the percolation limit of each individual carbon nanostructure type, alone, within an identical polymer matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • N-GLYCOSYLATION OF PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20160257983
    Abstract: A process for the production of a glycoconjugate by N-glycosylation of a protein or peptide comprising the sequence D/E-X—N—X—S/T, wherein each X is the same or different and is any natural amino acid other than proline, wherein the process comprises reacting the protein or peptide with a polyisoprenyl pyrophosphate of formula (I), or a salt thereof, in the presence of PglB: (I) to produce the glycoconjugate comprising the protein or peptide having a saccharide [SI] linked to the asparagine in the sequence D/E-X—N—X—S/T. Polyisoprenylpyrophosphates used as substrates in the biocatalytic process are also provided, as well as certain glycoconjugates.
