Patents by Inventor Olga Esteban

Olga Esteban has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Universal peptide-binding scaffolds and protein chips
    Patent number: 7442773
    Abstract: The present invention provides a universal peptide-binding scaffold. This scaffold is used to bind a target. The target can be a peptide or peptides of interest (for example, peptides associated with a disease state) or can represent the entire proteome. The target can be either protein fragments prepared by enzymatic digestion of the entire proteome or N- or C-terminal short sequences exposed by chemical denaturation of the entire proteome (unfolded proteins). The universal peptide-binding scaffold can be tailored to specifically bind a target using the methods described herein.
    Type: Grant
