    Patent Number:
    US 4595532 B2
    Description:

    N-Mono or N-disubstituted methyl-2-azetidinones are provided via cyclization of .beta.-hydroxy or .beta.-halo substituted acid sec-amides wherein the amide nitrogen is substituted with a mono- or di-substituted methyl group having activating substituents. Cyclization of .beta.-hydroxy acid amides is mediated by triphenylphosphine-dialkylazodicarboxylate while cyclization of .beta.-halo acid amides is mediated by strong bases e.g. lithium dialkylamides. E.g. Diethyl amino-protected L-serylamin…

    Patent Number:
    US 4675399 B2
    Description:

    Process for N-acyloxy or sulfooxy 2-azetidinones comprising O-acylation of a .beta.-hydroxy or .beta.-halo hydroxamic acid, and cyclizing the O-acylhydroxamate with TPP-CCl.sub.4 -TEA or with TPP-dialkylazodicarboxylate to the N-acyloxy-2-azetidinone. Solvolysis of the acyl group provides an N-hydroxy-2-azetidinone. e.g., N-Cbz-L-serine is converted to the O-acetyl hydroxamate, cyclized and solvolyzed to N-hydroxy-3-(Cbz-amino)-2-azetidinone. The N-hydroxy-2-azetidinones are useful intermedia…

  • Inventor(s):
    John G. Duman
    Patent Number:
    US 5627051 B2
    Description:

    The present invention is directed to nucleic acid sequences encoding Dendroides canadensis thermal hysteresis proteins. The THPs of Dendroides have significantly greater thermal hysteresis activity than any other known anti-freeze protein. The thermal hysteresis activity of the purified THPs can be further enhanced by combining the THPs with various “activating” compounds.

    Patent Number:
    US 5266468 B2
    Description:

    .beta.-Hydroxy-.alpha.-amino acids are obtained via serine hydroxymethyltransferase catalyzed condensation of aldehydes with glycine. The predominant product with most aldehydes is the L-erythro diastereomer. For example, succinic semialdehyde methylester is condensed with glycine in the process to provide L-erythro .alpha.-amino hydroxy adipic acid mono methyl ester.

    Patent Number:
    US 7932088 B2
    Description:

    The present invention provides molecular methods for efficiently transforming the genome of common disease-transmitting parasites, such as Plasmodium falciparum. The transformation efficiencies are improved up to 100 times over those conventionally known. The methods provide high saturation of the target parasite genome, of 50% or greater, and target non-specifically TTAA-rich sites in the parasite genome. The invention also discloses a model that may be used to functionally annotate the geno…

    Patent Number:
    US 6962810 B2
    Description:

    More efficient transfer of genes into host cells or embryos to transform the cells or embryos is facilitated by transposition vectors using the minimal amount of nucleotide sequences in the transposon piggyBac required for gene transfer. The transformed cells or embryos may be developed into transgenic organisms.

    Patent Number:
    US 3639348 B2
    Description:

    The copolymers disclosed herein are of propargyl acrylate and methacrylate. Polymerization of propargyl acrylate and methacrylate in free radical systems generally results in crosslinked or gelled products since the free radicals will activate polymerization through the acetylenic as well as through the acrylic unsaturation. Therefore the copolymers are advantageously prepared byanionic polymerization. The comonomers are those which are copolymerizable with acrylates and methacrylates inanion…

    Patent Number:
    US 4058505 B2
    Description:

    Aromatic polyimides with amine end groups are chain-extended (molecular weight increased) by reacting them with aromatic di- or tri- anhydrides. The reaction can either be at a temperature above the melting point of the reactants or in solvents for the reactants. The polyimides can be shaped and formed prior to chain-extending.
