Abstract:
A zone plate multilayer structure includes a substrate carrying a plurality of alternating layers respectively formed of tungsten silicide (WSi2) and silicon (Si). The alternating layers are sequentially deposited precisely controlling a thickness of each layer from a minimum thickness of a first deposited layer adjacent the substrate to a maximum thickness of a last deposited layer. The first minimum thickness layer has a selected thickness of less than or equal to 5 nm with the thickness of the alternating layers monotonically increasing to provide a zone plate multilayer structure having a thickness of greater than 12 μm (microns). The x-rays are diffracted in Laue transmission geometry by the specific arrangement of silicon and tungsten silicide.

Abstract:
The present invention relates, first, to methods for the synthesis of peptides, in particular T-20 (also referred to as "DP-178"; SEQ ID NO:1) and T-20-like peptides. Such methods utilize solid and liquid phase synthesis procedures to synthesize and combine groups of specific peptide fragments to yield the peptide of interest. The present invention further relates to individual peptide fragments which act as intermediates in the synthesis of the peptides of interest (e.g., T-20). The present invention still further relates to groups of such peptide intermediate fragments which can be utilized together to produce full length T-20 and T-20-like peptides.

Abstract:
A multilayer Laue Lens includes a compensation layer formed in between a first multilayer section and a second multilayer section. Each of the first and second multilayer sections includes a plurality of alternating layers made of a pair of different materials. Also, the thickness of layers of the first multilayer section is monotonically increased so that a layer adjacent the substrate has a minimum thickness, and the thickness of layers of the second multilayer section is monotonically decreased so that a layer adjacent the compensation layer has a maximum thickness. In particular, the compensation layer of the multilayer Laue lens has an in-plane thickness gradient laterally offset by 90° as compared to other layers in the first and second multilayer sections, thereby eliminating the strict requirement of the placement error.

Abstract:
The present invention provides ligand-detection reagents, ligand analogs and methods for determining the presence of a ligand in a sample. The ligand-detection reagent comprises a ligand-binding antibody and a ligand analog to form an antibody-ligand analog complex wherein the ligand analog is covalently bonded to a reporter molecule. This complex may additionally comprise a labeling protein non-covalently bonded to the antibody to form a ternary complex wherein the labeling protein comprises a monovalent antibody fragment or a non-antibody protein that is covalently bonded to a label moiety. The reporter molecule is either quenched by the ligand-binding antibody or by the label moiety of the labeling protein, depending on the reporter molecule and the ligand-binding antibody, wherein the amount of quenching is directly related to the amount of ligand present in the sample. Alternatively, the ligand analog is fluorogenic wherein the ligand analog is essentially non-fluorescent in solution but when bound by the ligand-binding antibody the detectable signal increases. In this instance a decrease in signal, as opposed to the relieving of quenching, is measured for the presence of a target ligand.
