  • Patent number: 11912664
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, kits, and compositions useful for determining small molecule-protein interactions and protein-protein interactions. The photo-click tags provided herein can be conjugated to a small molecule or amino acid analog to provide compounds that can be integrated into a protein through photo-conjugation, allowing for identification of a small molecule-protein interaction or protein-protein interaction to elucidate the small molecules mechanism of action or the protein targeted by the small molecule. In some embodiments, the photo-click tags comprise a photo-conjugation moiety and a click chemistry handle, allowing for the attachment of various functional groups (e.g., affinity tags) to the small molecule or amino acid analog.

  • Patent number: 10811756
    Abstract: A method to design and assemble a connector for the transition between a coaxial cable and a microstrip line involves in connecting a coaxial connector in series with a metallic ring to form a new coaxial connector, wherein the thickness of the metallic ring and the diameter of its through hole are important design parameters to determine the frequency response of the transition. By properly selecting their values and connecting the new coaxial connector to the microstrip line, a resonant response caused by the excitation of the first higher-order mode of the original coaxial connector is attenuated or eliminated from the frequency response.

By properly selecting their values and connecting the new coaxial connector to the microstrip line, a resonant response caused by the excitation of the first higher-order mode of the original coaxial connector can be attenuated or even eliminated from the frequency response. Thus, the method improves the insertion loss of the transition at high frequencies, and increases its 1-dB passband. Note that the signal line of the microstrip line is not inserted into the through hole of the metallic ring in the final assembly of the transition.
