Abstract:
The present invention describes a bio-based process to produce high quality protein concentrate (HQPC) by converting plant derived celluloses into bioavailable protein via aerobic incubation, including the use of such HQPC so produced as a nutrient, including use as a fish meal replacement in aquaculture diets.
Abstract:
Provided herein are polypeptides comprising up to 9 antigenic elements of ETEC virulence determinants: 7 CFA adhesins [CFA/I, CFA/II (CS1, CS2, CS3), CFA/IV (CS4, CS5, CS6)] expressed by the most prevalent and virulent ETEC strains, and 2 toxins expressed by all ETEC strains, were genetically fused together for CFA-toxoid fusion with proteins (CFA/I/II/IV-STatoxoid-LTtoxoid). Methods for making these polypeptides and their use in the treatment of ETEC related disease are also provided.
Abstract:
A system for conductive atomic force microscopy measurements includes a function generator that drives a light source as well as current provided to a sample, designed sample holder for local charge dynamics measurements and output circuitry that includes both a frequency response analysis as well as a bypass circuit analysis portion. Bypass circuit with external preamplifier helped to overcome the obstacles of commercially available AFM circuit bandwidth (e.g. 100 kHz) to see the local characteristics with high temporal resolution. By obtaining the data output of the frequency response analyzer and the bypass circuitry, local mobility map, local carrier lifetime and transport time map, local carrier density map, and a nanoscale impedance map can be made of complex solid state devices at high temporal and spatial resolutions.

Abstract:
Different versions of heat stable whey protein ingredients can be produced by subjecting whey protein solutions to specific heat treatments in the presence of a specific concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The whey protein ingredients including heat stable liquid retentate of WPI, WPC or any other form of whey protein ingredients, and heat stable powders of WPI or WPC or any other whey protein powders can be prepared by heat treatment of a whey protein solution mixed with a hydrogen peroxide solution. The heat stable whey proteins have the starting whey protein cystine converted to cystine sulfonic acid, such that the free sulfhydral groups of major whey protein (β-lactoglobulin) being converted into non-reactive compounds, such as cysteine sulphonic acid and/or cysteic acid, which not only minimizes or eliminates undesirable gelling but also is a precursor for taurine group of compounds.
Abstract:
Methods are described for producing non-immunogenic nanoparticles from protein sources by controlling the pH in a nanoprecipitation process. The nanoparticles that are produced by the disclosed methods range in diameter size from about 100 ran to about 400 nm, with a preferred diameter size of from approximately 100 nm to approximately 300 nm, thereby rendering them non-immunogenic. The invention further discloses methods for producing nanoconjugates that are suitable for a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and other uses.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of modified microscale and nanoscale particles that have enhanced in vivo delivery characteristics. The resultant particles can be used in any of a number of applications including informatics, detection, diagnosis, imaging, and/or therapeutics. Further, the modified particles of the present invention have enhanced circulation half time and elimination rate constant characteristics, and enhanced biodistribution.
Abstract:
A method for using plasma to activate biochar is disclosed where reactive gas(es) are excited by external power; biochar set on a sample holder is electrically biased or set at a floating potential so that charged particles of a certain type are attracted to the biochar, leading to intensive chemical reactions.
