Abstract: The subject invention concerns enzyme-based methods for detecting and assaying for glyoxylate. In particular, the invention is directed to methods for assaying for glyoxylate produced by the reaction of peptidylglycine ?-amidating monooxygenase (PAM). The subject invention also concerns methods for assaying for the enzyme peptidylglycine ?-amidating monooxygenase. The detection of glyoxylate using the present invention is indicative of the presence of PAM. The subject invention also concerns methods for screening for peptide hormones and any N-acyl-glycine or N-aryl-glycine conjugated molecule.

Abstract: Described herein is technology for, among other things, grouping service orders in an electronic services marketplace. The technology involves receiving first and second service orders, comparing the first and second service orders, determining whether a relationship exists between certain criteria of the first and second service orders, and routing the first and second service orders together to a service provider that is to perform the services associated with the first and second service orders, when there is a relationship between the certain criteria of the first and second service orders.
