Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and reagents useful for analyzing protein-protein interfaces such as interfaces between a presenter protein (e.g., a member of the FKBP family, a member of the cyclophilin family, or PIN1) and a target protein. In some embodiments, the target and/or presenter proteins are intracellular proteins. In some embodiments, the target and/or presenter proteins are mammalian proteins.

Abstract: A method of suturing a trocar path incision in a tissue of a patient with an obturator includes inserting the obturator through the tissue such that a shaft of the obturator extends through a tissue opening about the trocar path incision and a distal tip of the obturator is positioned within a cavity of the patient. The method also includes directing the suture via a suturing feature with the obturator inserted through the tissue in order to direct the suture relative to the tissue. Furthermore, the method includes closing the tissue opening about the trocar path incision with the suture.

Abstract: A combination water pump/air compressor system for performing two separate functions with one unit by providing compressed air and water. The combination water pump/air compressor system includes a piping configuration including a main pipe capable of carrying a combined compressed air and water, and also including valve members being connected to the main pipe; and also including a water and air pressure accumulator assembly being connected to one of the valve members and being adapted to be connected to water and air sources for providing compressed water to the main pipe; and further includes an air injector being connected to the main pipe for creating air bubbles in the water in the main pipe; and also includes a water and air mixer assembly being connected to the main pipe for pressurizing the spongy liquid/gas mixture; and further includes a water and air separator assembly also being connected to the main pipe for separating compressed air from compressed water.
