International Classification:

C12Q001/68
C07H017/08
C07H021/04
C12P019/62
C12N001/21

US Classification:

435/076000, 536/007100, 536/023200, 435/252300, 435/006000, 514/027000, 514/028000

Abstract:

The present invention recognizes that marine organisms comprise nucleic acid molecules that encode polypeptides that catalyze the synthesis of bioactive compounds, such as polyketides including bryopyran rings, such as bryostatins. One aspect of the present invention is a composition including at least one nucleic acid molecule that encodes at least one polypeptide that catalyzes at least one step in the synthesis of at least one polyketide such as a bryopyran ring, wherein said at least one nucleic acid molecule is derived from at least one marine organism. A second aspect of the present invention is a composition including a library of nucleic acid molecules of the present invention. These nucleic acid molecules can be used in a combinatorial biosynthesis of polyketides, bryopyran rings and bryostatins.

H01B 102

US Classification:

252511

Abstract:

A positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor composition, comprising: (a) about 3% to about 75% by weight of a binder resin, (b) about 0. 5% to about 70% by weight of a temperature activatable semicrystalline polymer, which is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that melts at a relatively narrow temperature range to change from a crystalline state to an amorphous state, (c) about 10% to about 80% by weight of an electrically conductive material in finely particulated form selected from the group consisting of silver, graphite, graphite/carbon, nickel, copper, silver coated copper, and aluminum, (d) about 0. 01% to about 80% by weight of solvent material for the composition.

Abstract:

A surface mount conductive adhesive composition comprising: (a) about 2 to about 15 parts by weight of a binder resin selected from the group consisting of acrylated urethane resin, acrylic resin, and mixtures thereof; (b) about 2 to about 15 parts by weight of an acrylate monomer; (c) about 0. 01 to about 3 parts by weight of a free radical initiator; and (d) about 72 to about 95 parts by weight of finely divided silver particles.
