  • VISCOSITY PRESSURE ASSAY
    Publication number: 20130045498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of determining enzyme activity in a fluid, wherein the activity over time provides a viscosity-change in the fluid, by the use of a device (FIG. 1) equipped with at least one pressure sensor (FIG. 1 (4)) to determine the change in the fluid viscosity over time as a measure of the enzyme activity.

  • DNA molecules encoding enzymes involved in starch synthesis, vectors, bacteria, transgenic plant cells and plants containing these molecules
    Patent number: 7429657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to DNA molecules encoding enzymes which are involved in the starch synthesis of plants. These enzymes represent two different isotypes of the soluble starch synthase as well as a starch granule-bound starch synthase. This invention furthermore relates to vectors, bacteria, as well as to plant cells transformed with the DNA molecules described and to plants regenerated from them. Furthermore, the invention relates to starch that can be isolated from plants having an increased or reduced activity of the proteins described.
    Type: Grant
