  • Methods for forming structurally defined organic molecules
    Patent number: 7455998
    Abstract: Methods of forming organic molecules comprising contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organic reactant are provided. Methods for forming an organosilicon molecule comprising contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organosilicon reactant are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2008
    Assignees: Dow Corning Corporation, Genencor International, Inc.
    Inventors: Kurt Friedrich Brandstadt, Thomas Howard Lane, John C. Saam, Joseph C. McAuliffe
  • Enzyme catalyzed organosilicon esters and amides
    Patent number: 7205373
    Abstract: Methods for forming organosilicon esters and amides are provided. Additionally, organosilicon esters and amides are provided. The organosilicon esters and amides may be formed by contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organosilicon reactant and an organic reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an ester bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or organic reactant and alcohol functional groups of the organic or organosilicon reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or organic reactant and amine functional groups of the organic or organosilicon reactant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2007
    Assignees: Dow Corning Corporation, Polytechnic University
    Inventors: Kurt Friedrich Brandstadt, Thomas Howard Lane, Richard A. Gross
  • Enzyme catalyzed organosilicon carbohydrates
    Patent number: 7078519
    Abstract: Methods for forming structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates are provided. Additionally, structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates are provided. The structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates may be formed by contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organosilicon reactant and a carbohydrate reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an ester bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or carbohydrate reactant and alcohol functional groups of the carbohydrate or organosilicon reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or carbohydrate reactant and amine functional groups of the carbohydrate or organosilicon reactant.
