  • Nucleic acid fragment and vector comprising a halogenase, and a process for halogenating chemical compounds
    Patent number: 6794170
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process halogenation, which comprises halogenating a chemical compound in the presence of a halogenase, where the halogenase is (a) encoded by the sequence specified in SEQ ID NO: 1 or a sequence derived therefrom on the basis of the degeneracy of the genetic code, or is (b) encoded by a nucleic acid sequence which codes for a functional fragment of (a) or (c) by a sequence which hybridizes with (a) or (b) under standard conditions, or is (d) encoded by a sequence which has more than 30% identity or more than 60% similarity with the sequence specified under (a).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 21, 2004
    Assignee: BASF Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Stefan Pelzer, Petra Huber, Roderich Suessmuth, Juergen Recktenwald, Dorothée Heckmann, Wolfgang Wohlleben
  • Lead substances and their use as therapeutics
    Patent number: 6660835
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, which are useful in treating Staphylococcus infections. More particularly, the inventive peptides interfere with the regulation of the agr system of Staphylococcus species, especially S. aureus, and thereby block the formation of different virulence factors. The inventive peptides comprise at least the amino acid sequence S V X A S Y F, whereby cyclic structures of that kind of peptides are the most potent blocking reagents.
