  • MODIFIED SOPHOROLIPIDS FOR THE INHIBITION OF PLANT PATHOGENS
    Publication number: 20130085067
    Abstract: A method for controlling pests by modifying derivatives of sophorolipids (SL) and applying the modified sophorolipid derivatives (MSL) to the plant pathogen or to an environment in which the pathogens may occur or are located in an amount such that the pathogens are substantially controlled.

  • PEPTIDE PROBE FOR RAPID AND SPECIFIC DETECTION OF AMYLOID AGGREGATION
    Publication number: 20130017615
    Abstract: A method for use of a peptide probe that generates fluorescence signals rapidly upon recognition of various A? aggregates without significant perturbation of samples. The present peptide probes display an increase in fluorescence signals upon coincubation with A? oligomers, but neither monomeric/dimeric species nor fibrils. The detection can occur within an hour or two without any additional sample preparation and incubation steps.
