In one aspect, biocompatible matrices such as sol-gels encapsulating a reaction center may be administered to a subject for conversion of prodrugs into biologically active agents. In certain embodiments, the biocompatible matrices of the present invention are sol-gels. In one embodiment, the enzyme L-amino acid decarboxylase is encapsulated and implanted in the brain to convert L-dopa to dopamine for treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Methods and systems for monitoring reactions by observing signals deriving from those reactions, using signal processing that allows differentiation between signals that are otherwise optically overlapping by conventional detection methods. Centroid determination is used to identify signal sources that are presenting confounding overlapping signals due to their physical proximity, and / or to identify discrete signals from different reaction centers.

Methods and compositions are disclosed to engineer chloroplast comprising heterologous mammalian genes via a direct replacement of chloroplast Photosystem II (PSII) reaction center protein coding regions to achieve expression of recombinant protein above 5% of total protein. When algae is used, algal expressed protein is produced predominantly as a soluble protein where the functional activity of the peptide is intact. As the host algae is edible, production of biologics in this organism for oral delivery or proteins / peptides, especially gut active proteins, without purification is disclosed.

The invention relates to a mass continuous safe production diazomethane reactor, which consists of a cavity body, a reaction center I, a reaction center II, a raw material A dripping port, a raw material B dripping port, a N2 air suction bubbling tube, a diazomethane discharging tube, a cooling jacket, a cooling medium inlet, a cooling medium outlet and a waste liquid discharging tube, wherein the cavity body consists of an upper seal end a reactor wall and a lower seal end. Working method comprises the following steps that: (1) diazald and NaOH enter the reaction center I inside the cavity body of the reactor respectively through the raw material A dripping port and the raw material B dripping port to be contacted and reacted with each other to generate diazomethane; (2) reaction liquid inside the reaction center I slowly flows into the reaction center II from an overflow port above the reaction center I, the raw materials which are not completely reacted are continuously reacted with each other to generate the diazomethane gas during the process. The reactor has the advantages that: under the condition that the explosion danger is reduced, the device has simple structure, mass and continuous production of the diazomethane can be realized, and the diazomethane is free from being stored and can be directly used.

Disclosed is a composition comprising a nucleic acid and a chemical compound, said composition forming a star structure defining 3 or more stems extending from a reaction center. The stems are formed by a nucleic acid duplex and the chemical compound has been formed in the reaction center as the reaction product of 3 or more chemical groups.The advantage of the composition is that a close proximity is provided between the chemical groups in the reaction center, thereby promoting a reaction. The invention also relates to a method for preparation of the composition. The advantage of the method is that it does not require the pre-synthesis of a large number of templates and that it is not dependent upon codon / anti-codon recognition for an encoded molecule to be formed.
