摘要:
The present invention relates to cupredoxin, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin, and/or Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c551 and their use in inhibiting of viral infection, and in particular infection of mammalian cells by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The invention also relates to variants and derivatives of cupredoxin and cytochrome c that retain the ability to inhibit viral infection, and in particular infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The invention also relates to research methods for studying viral and bacterial infection in mammalian cells.

摘要:
A laser heterostructure (10) having an active layer, a lateral waveguide terminating in an output aperture (11), and a gain section (17) with a current drive electrode. A rear surface distributed Bragg grating (12) with a tuning current electrode (19) is formed on a surface of said laser heterostructure. The laser also includes a front surface distributed Bragg grating (14) with a tuning current electrode (16) on a surface of the laser heterostructure. The front surface distributed Bragg grating is closer to the output aperture than the rear surface distributed Bragg grating. There is a space (15) between the rear surface distributed Bragg grating and the front surface distributed Bragg grating. A current drive electrode (18) is formed on the space. Operation is best when the front surface distributed Bragg grating has adequate reflectivity at the Bragg wavelength with minimal scattering loss at other wavelengths, particularly at the wavelength of the rear surface Bragg grating.
