摘要:
The invention provides bradykinin antagonist compounds wherein many (or all) of the peptide bonds of bradykinin are eliminated to yield compounds which specifically compete with bradykinin for binding to the bradykinin receptor. More particularly, the invention relates to compounds having, in appropriate spatial arrangement, two positively charged moieties flanking a hydrophobic organic moiety and a moiety which mimics a beta turn conformation.

摘要:
The invention relates to systems and methods for producing proteins of interest. The invention employs genetically-engineered animal or plant cells that have modified protein folding or processing capacities. In one aspect, the invention features genetically-engineered cells comprising one or more recombinant expression cassettes which encode (1) a protein of interest and (2) a polypeptide that is functional in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway of the cells. Co-expression of the polypeptide significantly increases the yield of the protein of interest in the genetically-engineered cells. In one example, the genetically-engineered cells are animal cells, and the co-expressed polypeptide is a component or modulator of an XBP1- or ATF6-mediated UPR pathway.
摘要:
The present specification describes techniques and apparatus that enable synchronization using agent-based semaphores. In one or more implementations, a semaphore is used for a first agent to notify a second agent that the first agent has completed a particular task of a set of tasks and has completed using a shared resource for the particular task.

摘要:
Compounds having the structure of Formula I, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, are CETP inhibitors, and are useful for raising HDL-cholesterol, reducing LDL-cholesterol, and for treating or preventing atherosclerosis. The compounds have 3 cyclic groups connected by single bonds, as for example triphenyl, which are attached directly to the ring of formula I or attached at the position B.
摘要:
A large mask with random apertures may be formed by forming a smaller mask (also called a cell mask) with a random pattern of transmissive apertures which is then repeatedly replicated to create the large mask. The random pattern may be created by perturbing the aperture locations by a small amount or the apertures may be randomly placed within the cell mask provided certain criteria are met. Alternatively, a large mask with a random pattern of transmissive apertures may be formed without using a cell mask. This large mask may be used to fabricate diffusers and other devices that do not suffer from the interference, diffraction and other optical effects common in devices having structures that are non-randomly patterned.
