  • Patent number: 11510899
    Abstract: Provided is a method for treating a symptom of vibrio infection by using an RTX toxin production inhibitor comprising N-(4-oxo-4H-thieno[3,4-c]chromen-3-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-ynamide having derivatives thereof which can repress (prevent or treat) a symptom of vibrio infection by inhibiting RTX toxin production, other than directly killing vibrio bacteria, to not allow vibrio bacteria to have pathogenicity, and thereby can be an alternative to antibiotics that aim to kill bacteria themselves and thus fundamentally retain the problem of resistance incurrence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2019

  • Patent number: 9193984
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel method for detecting interactions of biomolecules. More particularly, the disclosed method includes (a) preparing a cell comprising (i) a first construct comprising a bait, a first labeling material and a translocation module; and (ii) a second construct comprising a prey and a second labeling material; (b) detecting the distribution of the first construct and the second construct in the cell. the present invention provides a method capable of detecting bindings and interactions occurring in a living cell in real time, and a method for screening a material that alters the binding and the interaction. The method of the present invention overcomes the disadvantages including inaccuracy and complexity of existing biomaterial interaction detection techniques. By labeling both constructs to promote accuracy, the present invention provides a novel real-time, antibody-free analysis.

  • Publication number: 20140335545
    Abstract: A method for detecting the interactions of biomaterials by screening a prey that interacts with a bait includes preparing a cell which expresses a first construct including a translocation module, a first labeling material, and a first medium, and a third construct including a prey and a second labeling material; introducing a second construct into the prepared cell, the second construct including a bait and a second medium binding with the first medium; allowing the prey and the bait to interact each other; and confirming the interaction between the prey and the bait by detecting intracellular distributions of the first construct and the third construct.

  • Publication number: 20100120066
    Abstract: Methods for detecting interactions of biomolecules include (a) preparing a cell comprising (i) a first construct comprising a bait, a first labeling material and a translocation module; and (ii) a second construct comprising a prey and a second labeling material; (b) detecting the distribution of the first construct and the second construct in the cell. The methods are simplified and show significantly high accuracy.
