Patent number: 10494657Abstract: This invention relates to the in vitro production of cyclic peptides using cyanobacterial enzymes, such as patellamide biosynthesis enzymes. Linear peptide substrates are cyclized using an isolated cyanbacterial macrocyclase, such as PatG from Prochloron spp. Before cyclization, residues in the linear peptide substrates may be heterocyclized using isolated cyanbacterial heterocyclasses, such as PatD or TruD heterocyclase. Methods of the invention may be useful, for example, for the production of cyclic peptidyl molecules, including cyclotides, such as katalas, and cyanobactins, such as patellamides and telomestatins, for example for use in the development of therapeutics.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Oxford University Innovation LimitedInventors: Wael Houssen Ibrahim, Marcel Jaspars, Margaret Smith, James Naismith, Jesko Koehnke, Andrew Bent, Nicholas Westwood

Patent number: 10212481Abstract: A method of displaying a home menu interface on a content viewing device, such as a television, is described. The interface is comprised of two components: a launcher and an accelerator. Each of these components include multiple tiles. One type of launcher tile represents a content source. The user can select this tile and enable a direct link to the content source application. Only after selecting the tile, does the content source application open. An accelerator is associated with a specific content source. An accelerator tile displays content previews or enables easy playback of content provided by the content source. The user can select an accelerator tile and enable a deep link to the content, taking the user straight to the content, bypassing a hierarchy of menu options.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Maxel J. Keene, Jonathan Gaiser, Sophia Heeyoun Sung, Chris Turkstra, Margaret Smith, Avner Ronen
