  • Synzymes
    Patent number: 9976133
    Abstract: Novel synthetic catalytic structures or “synzymes,” e.g., synthetic polypeptides, with catalytic properties are provided. It is believed that these synthetic catalytic structures mimic some of the precise conformational changes necessary for catalytic activities seen in enzymes. The catalytic properties of these synthetic catalytic structures or synzymes can be further improved by the application of controlled external forces, e.g., electric fields.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Michael J. Heller, Tsukasa Takahashi, Michelle Lillian Cheung
