Methods and compositions for treating protein aggregation diseases
Unmet Need Neurodegenerative disease affects more than 50 million people per year. Certain neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, result from the accumulation of amyloid-forming proteins in the brain, which results in cognitive impairment and has…
Detection and measurement of RNA modifications through targeted RNA editing
Value Proposition N6-methyladenosine, m6A, is the most frequent post-transcriptional modification in RNA that has been implicated in nearly every aspect of the RNA life cycle. Furthermore, proteins involved in the formation, removal, and recognition of…
A method for identifying sour-taste receptor ligands as well as compounds that modulate their activity
Unmet Need The taste system is essential for feeding and survival as it helps humans evaluate the nutritional content in food. Every year, taste and smell dysfunctions affect more than 200,000 people, including those undergoing…
A bio-based method for producing adipic acid by using an enzyme to selectively convert 2-oxoadipate to (R)-2-hydroxyadipate
Unmet Need Adipic acid (1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid; COOH(CH2)4COOH), is among the most-produced chemicals worldwide, with approximately 2.5 billion kilograms synthesized annually and a global market of 8 billion USD. The most typical use for adipic acid…
Increasing the half-life of therapeutic proteins and peptides using elastomeric-like polypeptides with environmental sensitivity
Value Proposition Since insulin was used as the first therapeutic protein in a clinical setting, the field of protein therapeutics has rapidly expanded. From 2014-2018, therapeutic proteins had the highest compound annual growth rate of…
Unstructured non-repetitive polypeptides as a tool for imparting temperature-dependent physical properties to protein fusions
Value Proposition Proteins can be useful therapeutic agents when engineered for specificity and selectivity for a clinical target. Their complexity, versatility, tolerability, and diversity often make them superior alternatives to small molecule drugs, and the…
An integrated hybrid biological-materials platform for portable production of biomacromolecules
Value Proposition Bacteria are a common host to produce diverse biologics, accounting for ~30% of biopharmaceuticals. The industrial synthesis of recombinant proteins using bacterial hosts entails multiple steps that each require a sophisticated and delicate…
SUMO as a marker of cancer development and target for cancer therapy
Value Proposition Cancer therapy remains challenging, and the production of new inhibitor therapies is stinted by the need for clear successful targets that will block tumor cell proliferation. Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins and the…
Aptamers to VMF
Focused aptamer libraries are constructed in accordance with a proteome (i.e., complex mixture of native biomolecules). The libraries may be screened to identify one or more candidate aptamers with desired biological activities other than specific…
