In a pair of cross-appeals from the International Trade Commission, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Commission’s ruling that one of CJ CheilJedang Corp.’s engineered bacterial strains infringed ...

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat ...

Graphene-based olfactory sensors that can detect odor molecules based on the design of peptide sequences were recently demonstrated. The findings indicated that graphene field-effect transistors ...

The major storage protein, G1 globulin, of bean (cv. Tendergreen) seeds was subjected to limited proteolysis with trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, proteinase K, and protease V8 and to cleavage with ...

With the “improper Markush grouping” rejection, U.S. patent examiners may reject claims reciting various alternative polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences. However, there is no per se rule that ...

Scientists and engineers have long been interested in synthesizing peptides — chains of amino acids responsible for conducting many functions within cells — to both mimic nature and to perform new ...

Scientists have developed a way of finding optimal peptide sequences: using a machine-learning algorithm as a collaborator. The algorithm analyzes experimental data and offers suggestions on the next ...

Some reptiles sport tough immune systems that help them fend off infections after suffering gnarly wounds. For example, American alligators can survive losing limbs or chunks of their tails. And ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), primarily targets respiratory organs, as it reproduces in, ...

Bioactive peptides are small protein fragments that promote metabolic health by exerting a positive influence on biological responses within the body. The therapeutic applications of these novel ...
