US Patent:

7378219, May 27, 2008
Filed:

Nov 26, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/724271
Inventors:

Rasmus B. Jensen - Mountain View CA, US
Bradley R. Kelemen - Menlo Park CA, US
Joseph C. McAuliffe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Wyatt Charles Smith - Tiburon CA, US
Assignee:

Genencor International, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:

F21L 4/04
US Classification:

43027014, 430945, 430 1, 430 2, 362200, 369288, 428 648
Abstract:

The present invention relates to materials comprising hydrophilic polymers and immobilized proteorhodopsin and the use of such materials as an optical information carrier. The material comprises one or more hydrophilic polymers that are capable to form a homogeneous phase with proteorhodopsin prior to solidification to a solid form. The hydrophilic polymer, for example, is silica sol-gel, gelatin, polyvinylalcohol, agarose, agar, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, or a mixture thereof. The solid material having immobilized proteorhodopsin is deposited on a substrate selected from the group consisting of glass, paper, metal, fabric material, plastic material, and used as an optical data storage material or a fraud-proof carrier. The present invention further provides a security ink comprising proteorhodopsin and one or more hydrophilic polymers.

US Patent:

7642077, Jan 5, 2010
Filed:

Dec 7, 2004
Appl. No.:

11/007437
Inventors:

Risha Bond - Mountain View CA, US

C12N 11/04
US Classification:

435176, 435177, 435182
Abstract:

This invention relates to a method of immobilizing biocatalysts including protein and cells by co-precipitation with silicate or organosilicate matrices through the action of an organic template molecule. The organic template molecule is in general a polyamine such as polyethylenimine (PEI), or polypeptide compound bearing at least two or three basic residues selected from the group consisting of lysine, arginine, histidine, proline, hydroxyproline, N-methylhistidine, ornithine, taurine, δ-hydroxylysine, and δ-hydroxy-ω-N,N,N trimethyllysine. The invention is also directed to a silica biocomposite comprising co-precipitates of active biocatalysts, silica or organosilicates, and an N-containing organic template molecule. Such silica biocomposites are useful in biocatalysis, and other applications requiring an immobilized biocatalyst. Preferred biocatalysts for this invention are enzymes and whole cells.
