  • Peptide Therapeutics Against SARS-COV-2 Spike Protein
    Publication number: 20230218743
    Abstract: Proteinaceous therapeutics, such as antibodies and fusion proteins, for preventing, reducing the occurrence of, and/or treating a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subject are provided herein. The methods provided herein include administering to a subject an antigen binding fragments (Fab fragment) or antibody that binds to the S ARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, ACE2 decoy peptides that bind to the SAILS-CoV-2 Spike protein, and/or a DNA construct encoding an anti-Spike Fab fragment or ACE2 decoy peptide.

  • Microbial synthesis of aldehydes and corresponding alcohols
    Patent number: 10450589
    Abstract: An improved process for alcohol production includes microbial fermentation using a genetically modified microorganism to produce substantial quantities of aldehydes that are stripped from the fermentation medium and condensed. So produced aldehydes are converted in an ex vivo process to corresponding alcohols.
