The present disclosure provides regulatable biocircuit systems. Such systems provide modular and tunable protein expression systems in support of the discovery and development of therapeutic modalities.

The present invention relates to a novel phase transfer solvent composition for enhanced CO.sub.2 and/or H.sub.2S capture from flue gas and biogas having various gaseous compositions. Further, the present invention provides a process of preparing the phase transfer solvent composition of the present invention.

The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to non-aromatic molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). The invention also includes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptide ligands and drug conjugates and to the use of said peptide ligands and drug conjugates in preventing, suppressing or treating a disease or disorder mediated by CAIX.

The process of making a biocomposite material utilize a bacterial species and a fungal species in an agricultural feedstock composed of a substrate of non-nutrient discrete particles and a nutrient material wherein the bacterial species imparts mechanical properties to the biocomposite material and the fungal species binds the biocomposite material. Both bacterium and fungus can be genetically engineered to produce desired properties within the microbial communities.

The present invention provides chimeric antigen receptor cells specific for carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) and methods of using same for treatment of CAIX expressing cancers such as renal cell carcinoma.

The invention relates to materials and methods for the modulation of intraocular and intracranial pressure, and treatment of associated conditions such as glaucoma and hydrocephalus. More specifically, the invention relates to adenoviral vectors of serotype ShH10, and their therapeutic use in transducing the CRISPR system into ciliary body or choroid plexus to modulate expression of aquaporin or carbonic anhydrase genes.

Provided is a method of producing and isolating a diamine produced by microbial fermentation that minimizes undesirable salt formation to provide a lower cost process.

A fusion tag according to an embodiment of the present invention may increase the water solubility and expression level of a target protein. As the water solubility and expression level of a target protein in host cell can be increased by a recombinant vector including the fusion tag, the fusion tag can be advantageously used in industry.

Disclosed herein are a dual-targeted carbonic anhydrase IX complex, a contrast agent comprising the same, and a synthesizing method thereof. The dual-targeted carbonic anhydrase IX complex includes a carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) binding peptide, a sulfonamide derivative, and a metal chelating agent. The dual-targeted carbonic anhydrase IX complex has potential for use as a molecular nuclear drug.

The present invention relates to polypeptides having carbonic anhydrase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
