Patents by Inventor John J. Lavigne

John J. Lavigne 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).

  • Patent number: 10273339
    Abstract: Porous networks are described linked by boronates. Also described are processes for producing the porous networks. The porous networks are formed by reacting a polyboronic acid with itself or with a polydiol, a polydiamine, or a polyamino alcohol. The resulting boronate linkage is covalently bonded. The characteristics and properties of the resulting porous material can be varied and altered by changing the reactants and by incorporating functional groups into the reactants. Of particular advantage, the porous materials can be formed at or near atmospheric pressure and at low temperature in the presence of one or more solvents.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080299666
    Abstract: Peptide-based borono-lectin sensors, along with their synthesis and analysis and methods of use, are generally described. These sensors use peptides as a scaffold and introduce boronic acid moieties onto the peptide scaffold as the binding site for the targeted analyte (e.g., carbohydrates, glycans, etc.). The boronic acid moieties can be arranged on the protein scaffold in such a manner that a particularly targeted carbohydrate or glycoprotein will bond to the protein scaffold via the boronic acid functionality. Such bonding can indicated the presence or absence of that targeted analyte in the sample.
