Abstract:
The present invention provides a chromoprotein produced by Actinomadura sp. 21G792, as well as amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of the apoprotein component of the chromoprotein and of components of the biosynthetic pathway for the chromophore. The present invention is useful for developing pharmaceutical and treating diseases such as cancer or bacterial infections.
Abstract:
A computer device for off-track wagering includes a communication device to receive a location of a racing animal in a race track from a remote computer system; a computer memory to store a representation of the race track; and a display device to display the representation of the race track and a symbol representing the racing animal in the representation of the race track in accordance with the location in the racing animal in the race track.
Abstract:
The invention provides the three-dimensional structure of a construct of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3); crystals of a construct of glycogen synthase kinase 3-β (GSK3-β) containing the protein's catalytic kinase domain; a method for crystallizing the protein construct to provide a GSK3 crystal sufficient for structure determination; and a method for using the GSK3 construct's three-dimensional structure for the identification of possible therapeutic compounds in the treatment of various disease conditions mediated by GSK3 activity.
Abstract:
A method, computer software program, and system provides automatic selection of time slots in time-division multiplexed connections. A network is mapped, and source and destination nodes are selected, as well as a route between them. Appropriate time slots are selected in a time-division multiplexed signal between the selected nodes, and a connection between the two nodes is automatically created, based at least in part on information related to the selected routes and time slots.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of prostaglandin compounds having the formula (I): wherein A is selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl groups; C7-C16 aralkyl groups wherein an aryl portion thereof is unsubstituted or substituted with one to three substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl groups, halo and CF3; and (CH2)nOR′ wherein n is an integer from 1 to 3 and R′ represents a C6-C10 aryl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with one to three substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl groups, halo and CF3; B is selected from OR″ and NHR″ wherein R″ is C1-C6 alkyl groups; and represents a double bond or a single bond, is disclosed. Novel intermediates are also disclosed.
