Patents by Inventor Frank Haenel

Frank Haenel 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).

  • Myc-binding zinc finger proteins, their preparation and their use
    Patent number: 7022490
    Abstract: The present invention provides assays for determining transcription-modulating substances. The transcription-modulating activity of test compounds is assessed on the basis of their ability to suppress or enhance complex formation between Myc and a novel zinc finger binding protein, Miz-1, or derivatives thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2000
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2006
    Assignee: Prolifix Limited
    Inventors: Karen Peukert, Frank Haenel, Martin Eilers
  • DNA sequences encoding for subunit CHLD of plant magnesium chelatases and determining the activity of plant magnesium chelatases
    Patent number: 6831207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a protein with the function of a plant Mg chelatase subunit CHLD or an active fragment thereof; a protein which has the function of a plant Mg chelatase subunit CHLD or an active fragment thereof, preferably a recombinant protein; a method of determining the interaction of plant Mg chelatase subunits, in which a host cell is transformed with a DNA sequence as claimed in one or more of claims 1 to 3 and at least with one DNA sequence encoding a further subunit of Mg chelatase in such a manner that the interaction of the Mg chelatase gene products leads to a directly or indirectly, qualitatively or quantitatively measurable signal, preferably by activating a marker gene, and transgenic plants, transgenic plant cells, transgenic plant organs, transgenic plant seeds, transgenic propagation material comprising an abovementioned nucleic acid molecule.
