Microplate thermal shift assay for ligand development and multi-variable protein chemistry optimization
InactiveUS6020141AConvenient and efficientAccurate informationCompound screeningHeating or cooling apparatusThermal shift assayProtein chemistry
The present invention is a method for ranking the affinity of each of a multiplicity of different molecules for a target molecule which is capable of denaturing due to a thermal change. The method comprises contacting the target molecule with one molecule of the multiplicity of different molecules in each of a multiplicity of containers, simultaneously heating the multiplicity of containers, measuring in each of the containers a physical change associated with the thermal denaturation of the target molecule resulting from the heating in each of the containers, generating a thermal denaturation curve for the target molecule as a function of temperature for each of the containers and determining a midpoint temperature (T.sub.m) therefrom, comparing the T.sub.m of each of the thermal denaturation curves with the T.sub.m of a thermal denaturation curve obtained for the target molecule in the absence of any of the molecules in the multiplicity of different molecules, and ranking the affinities of the multiplicity of different molecules according the change in T.sub.m of each of the thermal denaturation curves.

Technique for ethernet access to packet-based services
ActiveUS7092389B2Convenient and efficientThe process is convenient and fastNetworks interconnectionMetropolitian area networksTraffic volumeReceipt
An Ethernet Metropolitan Area Network (10) provides connectivity to one or more customer premises (161,162,163) to packet-based services, such as ATM, Frame Relay, or IP, while advantageously providing a mechanism for assuring security and regulation of customer traffic. Upon receipt of each customer-generated information frame (20), an ingress Multi-Service Platform (MSP) (122) “tags” the frame with a customer descriptor (22′) that specifically identifies the recipient customer. In practice, the MSP tags each frame by overwriting the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifier (22) with the customer descriptor. Using the customer descriptor in each frame, a recipient Provider Edge Router (PER) (18) or ATM switch can map the information as appropriate to direct the information to the specific customer at its receiving site. In addition, the customer descriptor (22′) may also include Quality of Service (QoS) information, allowing the recipient Provider Edge Router (PER) (18) or ATM switch to afford the appropriate QoS level accordingly. Each Ethernet switch may advantageously overwrite the VLAN identifier at an incoming port with a second tag associated with an egress port to increase the scale associated with single switch.
