Patents by Inventor Karl-Hermann Schmidt

Karl-Hermann Schmidt 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).

  • Method for enriching and/or separating prokaryotic DNA using a protein that specifically bonds to unmethylated DNA containing CpG-motifs
    Patent number: 8481262
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating and/or enriching prokaryotic DNA, comprising the following steps: a) contacting of at least one prokaryotic DNA that is in solution with a protein that bonds specifically to prokaryotic DNA, the protein being 25%-35% homologous with the wild-type CGPB protein, thus forming a protein-DNA complex; and b) separation of the complex. The invention also relates to a kit for carrying out said method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2013
    Assignee: SIRS-Lab GmbH
    Inventors: Karl-Hermann Schmidt, Eberhard Straube, Stefan Russwurm, Hans-Peter Deigner, Svea Sachse, Marc Lehmann
  • Method for enriching a prokaryotic DNA
    Patent number: 8288115
    Abstract: A method is described for enriching procaryotic DNA, said method including the steps of contacting at least one procaryotic DNA with at least one protein or polypeptide which is capable of specifically binding to non-methylated CpG motifs, and separating the protein/polypeptide-DNA complex. Moreover, the application relates to a kit for carrying out said method.
