Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that detects and controls operations performed by abusive accounts in a customer-relationship-management system. During operation, the system obtains account-related information for an account in the customer-relationship-management system. Next, the system determines a likelihood that the account is being used for abusive purposes based on the account-related information. Finally, the system limits a rate of processing for application-programming interface (API) calls made from the account to the customer-relationship-management system based on the determined likelihood that the account is being used for abusive purposes.

Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids and isolated polypeptides involved in the synthesis of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon intermediates. Homologs of, conservative variants of, and sequences having at least about 35% sequence identity with nucleic acids involved in the synthesis of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon intermediates are also provided. The invention further provides methods for producing an aliphatic ketone or a hydrocarbon, as well as a method for identifying an enzyme useful for the production of hydrocarbons.
