Patents by Inventor Tell TUTTLE

Tell TUTTLE 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).

  • Self-assembling peptide polymer
    Patent number: 11021516
    Abstract: A self-assembling peptide is provided that is enzymatically oxidized to form a polymeric pigment. The monomeric peptide has three amino acids (tyrosine (Y), one phenylalanine (F), and one aspartic acid (D) or one lysine (K)) and, following self-assembly and treatment with a tyrosinase enzyme oxidizes and polymerizes into a material with predetermined properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2021
    Assignees: Research Foundation of the City University of New York, University of Strathclyde, Carnegie Mellon University
    Inventors: Rein V. Ulijn, Ayala Lampel, Tell Tuttle, Gary Scott, Scott McPhee, Christopher Bettinger
  • Self-assembling tripeptides
    Patent number: 10646538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting the propensity of tripeptides to from aggregates in solution. The present invention also provides tripeptides which are able to form aggregates in solution, as well as uses thereof. The present invention also provides nanostructures formed by self-aggregation of tripeptides of the present invention. The present invention also provides pH responsive aggregates as well as methods of screening for the ability of a tripeptide to form a pH dependent aggregate or gel.

  • STABLE EMULSIONS FROM DIPEPTIDE DERIVATIVES
    Publication number: 20170188618
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the formation of emulsions using small amphipathic molecules, such as peptides which self-assemble to form an interface between at least two substantially immiscible liquids. The emulsions may find application is a variety of technological fields, such as in food, cosmetics, life style products, coating, catalysis, encapsulation, drug delivery and/or cell assays. There is also provided a method of making such emulsions, as well as methods of tailoring the stability of the emulsions for particular applications.
