Patents by Inventor Vera Ignjatovic

Vera Ignjatovic 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).

  • Modified peptide substrate
    Patent number: 9091700
    Abstract: The invention provides novel reagents and methodologies for detecting free versus bound enzyme. It is particularly useful to detect thrombin when it is not bound to A2M in the presence of thrombin bound to A2M by using a modified substrate that is sterically hindered from reacting with the bound thrombin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2015
    Assignees: McMaster University, The University of Melbourne
    Inventors: Leslie R. Berry, Vera Ignjatovic, Paul T. Monagle, Anthony K. Chan
