摘要:
Methods of producing a single-domain antibody (sdAb) include causing a bacteria to express the sdAb into cytoplasm of the bacteria, wherein the sdAb is expressed as a fusion protein with the acid tail of α-synuclein; and then purifying the sdAb, wherein the fusion protein is expressed free of a periplasmic location tag. Such antibodies have the unexpected ability to refold after thermal denaturation.

摘要:
A method of biochemical identification by: providing a plurality of capture species bound to one or more substrates and suspected of having one or more biological targets affinity bound to at least one capture species; detecting which capture species contain bound biological targets to generate a binding pattern; and identifying the biological target based on the binding pattern. The capture species are independently selected from the group consisting of antimicrobial peptides, cytotoxic peptides, antibiotics, and combinations thereof. A device having the capture species bound to the substrates. At least two of the capture species are capable of multi-specific binding to one or more biological targets and may have overlapping but not identical affinity properties.
摘要:
The biosensor comprises a modular biorecognition element and a modular flexible arm element. The biorecognition element and the flexible arm element are each labeled with a signaling element. The flexible arm contains an analog of an analyte of interest that binds with the biorecognition element, bringing the two signaling elements in close proximity, which establishes a baseline fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When an analyte of interest is provided to the biosensor, the analyte will displace the analyte analog, and with it, the signaling module of the modular flexible arm, causing a measurable change in the FRET signal in a analyte concentration dependent manner. The modularity of different portions of the biosensor allows functional flexibility. The biosensor-operates without additional development reagents, requiring only the presence of analyte or target for function.

The present system provides a traffic signal control system which will allow moving emergency vehicles to remotely take control of the traffic signals at an intersection. The transmitter part of the system utilizes a microwave transmitter that is mounted on each emergency vehicle, which transmitter emits a pulse coded message which is received by a permanently fixed receiver at each intersection to be controlled. The receiver includes decoding logic to verify that a valid code request has been transmitted by the vehicle. The receiver includes a directional antenna that faces each direction to be controlled which therefore automatically discriminates against signals being received from other directions, and if the appropriate code is received during a predetermined interval of time, the receiver will cause the traffic signals to cycle so that a green or go phase will be directed to the oncoming emergency vehicle and cross traffic will be warned by red signals facing it. After the emergency vehicle has entered the intersection, lack of direct transmission from it will conclude the control after a fixed delay to allow the vehicle time to clear the intersection. The same fixed delay will enable the vehicle to maintain control of the intersection even if it should momentarily lose direct microwave contact because of an intervening large truck or bus.
