Patents by Inventor Frederic Chedin

Frederic Chedin 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).

  • Single stranded DNA binding proteins from Archaea and uses therefor
    Patent number: 7666591
    Abstract: The invention provides ssDNA-binding proteins from three species of archaeons, Methanococcus jannaschii, Methanobacter theromoautotrophicum, and Archaeoglobus fulgidus, as well as the ability to identify ssDNA-binding proteins from other archaeons. The proteins help render DNA more accessible to DNA polymerase and are robust reagents for a variety of biotechnical processes, including PCR. The invention further provides nucleic acids encoding such proteins, vectors for transfecting host cells, host cells comprising the vectors, and methods of using the proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 14, 2005
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2010
    Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services
