Patents by Inventor Steven William Santoro

Steven William Santoro 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).

  • Methods and composition for the production of orthogonal tRNA-aminoacyltRNA synthetase pairs
    Patent number: 8183012
    Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for generating components of protein biosynthetic machinery including orthogonal tRNAs, orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and orthogonal pairs of tRNAs/synthetases. Methods for identifying orthogonal pairs are also provided. These components can be used to incorporate unnatural amino acids into proteins in vivo.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2012
    Assignees: The Scripps Research Institute, The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Peter G. Schultz, Lei Wang, John Christopher Anderson, Jason Chin, David R. Liu, Thomas J. Magliery, Eric L. Meggers, Ryan Aaron Mehl, Miro Pastrnak, Steven William Santoro, Zhiwen Zhang
  • In vivo incorporation of unnatural amino acids
    Patent number: 7368275
