  • Artificial organelles for enzymatic cofactor reduction
    Patent number: 11981948
    Abstract: Described herein are engineered organelles comprising multi-component proteins from different species incorporated into a membrane structure with interior and exterior aspects. In one embodiment the artificial organelle incorporates one or more protein complexes that absorb optical energy and catalyze electron transfer in biochemical reactions that can be used to reduce NAD+ to NADH or analogues thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: Ensovi, Inc.
    Inventors: Kyle A Minor, Carlo D. Montemagno, David W. Wendell

  • Functionalized beta-sheet peptide stabilized membrane proteins, constructs comprising same, and methods of forming and using same
    Patent number: 9821278
    Abstract: Constructs having membrane proteins stabilized by functionalized beta-sheet peptides are provided. The constructs can be associated with or covalently linked to supports. The support can be a membrane. The membrane can be used to selectively move desired particles from one side of the membrane to the other while impeding passage of undesired particles through the membrane. Methods of making and using such constructs and membranes are provided.
