  • Cellular libraries of peptide sequences (CLiPS) and methods of using the same
    Publication number: 20070065878
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions including peptide display scaffolds that present at least one candidate peptide and at least one detectable moiety in at least one of the N-terminal and C-terminal candidate peptide presenting domains that when expressed in a cell are accessible at a surface of the cell outermembrane. In addition, the present invention also provides kits and methods for screening a library of cells presenting the candidate peptides in peptide display scaffolds to identify a ligand for an enzyme.

  • Polypeptide display libraries and methods of making and using thereof
    Publication number: 20050196406
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are expression vectors which display a passenger polypeptide on the outer surface of a biological entity. As disclosed herein the displayed passenger polypeptide is capable of interacting or binding with a given ligand. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the expression vectors. N/C terminal fusion expression vectors and methods of making and using are also disclosed.

  • Spacecraft with heat dissipators mounted on thermally coupled shelves
    Patent number: 5699982
    Abstract: A spacecraft includes heat-radiating panels. Heat-generating boxes such as TWTs are mounted on shelves which are inside the spacecraft, where they cannot radiate to space. The shelves are coupled by bent heat pipes to the exterior radiating panels.
