Abstract: Dry, e.g., lyophilized, polymeric transfection agent compositions are provided. The dry compositions include a polymeric transfection agent and a buffer. In some instances, the compositions further include one or more nucleic acids. Also provided are methods of making and using the compositions, as well as kits including the compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes, in a heterogeneous system, receiving a desired speedup of an application as input and performing a static analysis and a dynamic analysis of the application. The dynamic analysis of the application comprises, identifying a set of parameters including, an end-to-end execution time of the application, an execution time of data parallel loops in the application, an execution time of non-data parallel loops in the application, and an amount of physical memory used by each data structure in each data parallel loop. Dynamic analysis also includes calculating and providing the feasibility of achieving the desired speedup of the application based on the identified set of parameters, and satisfaction of each of, an initialization invariant, a data-parallel invariant and a data transfer invariant.

Abstract: Assay devices that include a poly(acid) membrane are provided. Aspects of the devices include a solid support and a poly(acid) membrane on a surface of the support, where the poly(acid) membrane includes an affinity element. In using the assay devices, a sample is contacted with the poly(acid) membrane and then a signal is obtained from the membrane. Also provided are kits that find use in practicing the methods described herein. The compositions and methods described herein find use in a variety of different applications, including analyte detection applications.

Abstract: The design, synthesis, and utilization of a novel coumarin-based amino acid and its fluorinated derivatives for use in enzyme activity and substrate specificity assays are described. The synthesis is both facile and high-yielding and allows for the production of a highly fluorescent phosphorylated amino acid that can be incorporated into peptides using standard SPPS techniques. The resultant substrates are efficiently hydrolyzed by PTPs and exhibit a large increase in fluorescence upon hydrolysis. Fluorinated CAP derivatives have utility as fluorogenic enzyme substrates. CAP and its derivatives can be incorporated into combinatorial peptide libraries for assaying enzyme substrate specificities.

Abstract: The invention relates in general to tyrosine dephosphorylation. More specifically, the invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring intracellular tyrosine dephosphorylation at the single cell level. The invention further relates to techniques that can be used as aid in the development of novel therapeutics, and monitor regulation of intracellular tyrosine phosphatase activity at the single cell level.
