Rudolf Robelek 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).

  • Device and method of detecting mutations and polymorphisms in DNA
    Patent number: 8105780
    Abstract: There is provided a resonator sensor useful for detecting polymorphisms and mutations in DNA. The resonator sensor has a capture molecule immobilised on its surface, the capture molecule being either a probe DNA containing a reference sequence, or a mismatch binding molecule, and being capable of forming a probe DNA/target DNA/mismatch binding molecule complex on the surface of the resonator. A method for detecting mutations in a target DNA, including single nucleotide polymorphisms, is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2012
    Assignees: Agency for Science, Technology and Research, National University of Singapore

  • Cell-Free In Vitro Transcription and Translation of Membrane Proteins into Tethered Planar Lipid Layers
    Publication number: 20090202997
    Abstract: The present invention relates to synthetic membranes having membrane proteins incorporated therein and, in particular, to the cell-free in vitro transcription and translation of membrane proteins into tethered planar lipid layers. In particular, the present invention provides a new method for the preparation of such membranes. The membranes, e.g., can be used for investigation of membrane receptor/ligand interactions.
