Patents by Inventor Timothy Riedel

Timothy Riedel 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 apparatus for identifying allosterically regulated ribozymes
    Publication number: 20070077571
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided to use regulatable aptazymes for controlling gene expression and in assays to detect the presence of ligands or to detect activation by an effector of an aptazyme bound to a solid support such as a substrate or multi-well plate. Regulatable aptazymes are ribozymes that are allosterically regulated by an effector molecule. Also disclosed are compositions and methods for automating the selection procedures of the present invention.

  • Regulatable, catalytically active nucleic acids
    Publication number: 20040126882
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided to make, isolate, characterize and use regulatable, catalytically active nucleic acids (RCANA). The present invention is directed to RCANA that transduce molecular recognition into catalysis. Also, RCANAs according to the invention can be used as regulatory elements to control the expression of one or more genes in a metabolic pathway. RCANAs can also be used as regulated selectable markers to create a selective pressure favoring (or disfavoring) production of a targeted bioproduct.
