摘要:
The invention provides a method of identifying a peptide or protein capable of binding a ligand which comprises: (i) providing a support, the support comprising a photoreactive group; (ii) reacting the photoreactive group with a ligand to attach the ligand to the support and produce a supported ligand; (iii) providing an expression library comprising a plurality of members, each member expressing a different peptide or protein; (iv) screening the expression library to identify one or more peptides or proteins which bind to the ligand; (v) isolating the member or each member of the library which expresses a peptide or protein which binds to the ligand; and (vi) identifying the peptide or protein which binds to the ligand. Supported photo-reactive compounds are disclosed comprising a photo-reactive group attached to a support via a spacer and a dendritic group, the dendritic group comprising attached thereto, optionally via a spacer, at least one further photo-reactive group and/or a second functional group. Compounds comprising photo-reactive groups attached to a support and a protein resistant group attached to the support are also provided, together with kits for carrying out the method of the invention.
摘要:
The boat trailer having an inflatable bladder is a boat trailer with an inflatable bladder located under the rear end of the trailer. The bladder is coupled to an air hose that runs to a hose connecter at the front of the trailer. The bladder is retained in place by a combination of longitudinal and lateral support rails, which are part of the trailer frame and by a bladder barrier that covers the bladder and prevents it from rising above the top of the trailer. If the trailer is backed down the boat ramp and the wheels leave the boat ramp at an end-of-ramp drop-off, a source of compressed air may be used to inflate the bladder. This provides buoyancy to elevate the trailer wheels so that the tow vehicle may pull the trailer up the boat ramp.
