  • Publication number: 20230295638
    Abstract: Provided herein are programmable condensate protein systems and nucleic acid constructs encoding the same. The protein system enables modular targeting of proteins of interest. Protein-peptide interaction domains (PPIDs) are incorporated to functionalize engineered condensates with the attributes of the recruited protein, resulting in a modular system that allows for diverse facile and reprogrammable applications, including in enzyme clustering of metabolic pathways. Colocalizing specific metabolic enzymes in these condensates results in functionalized organelles with which can be used to manipulate the output of engineered metabolic pathways for the production of a pharmaceutical precursor.

  • Patent number: 8899985
    Abstract: A simulated weapon includes a mechanical counting mechanism that incrementally advances upon firing of a simulated round. When the mechanical counting mechanism reaches a state indicating that all simulated rounds have been fired, a slide of the weapon is locked back, mimicking the lockback feature of an actual weapon. The simulated weapon may be untethered, enabling realistic training in weapon handling. The mechanical counting mechanism may be actuated by motion of the slide.
