Protein Separation
The invention provides a method of extracting protein from a protein source material such as egg white material. The method comprises contacting a crosslinked alginate-based carrier with the protein source material and allowing the protein to bind to the carrier, so as to form a protein-loaded carrier product. The method then comprises separating the protein-loaded carrier product from the remaining protein source material.
RECOMBINANT YEAST STRAINS FOR PENTOSE FERMENTATION
Disclosed is a method for recovering a desired fermentation product from a fermentation broth where the desired product has precipitated during the fermentation.
VISCOSITY-REDUCING EXCIPIENT COMPOUNDS FOR PROTEIN FORMULATIONS
The invention encompasses formulations and methods for the production thereof that permit the delivery of concentrated protein solutions. The inventive methods can yield a lower viscosity liquid formulation or a higher concentration of therapeutic or nontherapeutic proteins in the liquid formulation, as compared to traditional protein solutions.
ENZYME COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING THEM
Provided herein are compositions with enzymatically active enzymes produced recombinantly, enhanced protein content and methods for the preparation thereof.
EXCIPIENT COMPOUNDS FOR BIOPOLYMER FORMULATIONS
Disclosed herein are reduced viscosity liquid formulations comprising a protein and an excipient compounds. Further disclosed are methods of reducing the viscosity of a liquid formulation comprising a protein, methods of treatment, and methods of improving protein processing.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR AUTO-INDUCIBLE CELLULAR LYSIS AND NUCLEOTIDE HYDROLYSIS
An improved strain of E. coli for autoinduction of protein expression but also of autolytic enzymes thereby enabling combined autolysis and auto DNA/RNA hydrolysis. This combination of these two mechanisms improves cellular lysis and DNA removal and expounds the benefits of two stage production of a protein product. This system enables greater than 95% lysis and hydrolysis due to tightly controlled expression the genes. The autolytic genes may encode a lysozyme and a benzonase.
Viscosity-reducing compounds for protein formulations
The invention encompasses formulations and methods for the production thereof that permit the delivery of concentrated protein solutions. The inventive methods can yield a lower viscosity liquid protein formulation or a higher concentration of therapeutic or nontherapeutic proteins in the liquid formulation, as compared to traditional protein solutions. The inventive methods can also yield a higher stability of a liquid protein formulation.
Enhanced crystal nucleation
Crystal nucleation, and associated articles, systems, and methods, are generally described.
LYSIN-ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE (AMP) POLYPEPTIDE CONSTRUCTS, LYSINS, ISOLATED POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING SAME AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure is directed to lysin-AMP polypeptide constructs, isolated lysin polypeptides, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the isolated polypeptides and/or lysin-AMP polypeptide constructs. Methods of using the lysin-AMP polypeptide constructs, isolated lysin polypeptides and pharmaceutical compositions are also herein provided, including methods of treating a bacterial infection of an organ or tissue in which pulmonary surfactant is present or Gram-negative bacterial infections that are associated with a biofilm. In addition, isolated polynucleotides encoding the lysin-AMP polypeptide constructs and isolated lysin polypeptides are disclosed herein.
EXCIPIENT COMPOUNDS FOR PROTEIN FORMULATIONS
Disclosed herein are formulations with improved stability or reduced viscosity that comprise a therapeutic protein and a lyo-enhancing excipient, wherein the improved stability formulation is characterized by improved stability in comparison to a control formulation otherwise identical to the stability-enhanced formulation but lacking the lyo-enhancing excipient, and the reduced viscosity formulation is characterized by reduced viscosity in comparison to a control formulation otherwise identical to the reduced viscosity formulation but lacking the lyo-enhancing excipient. Further disclosed herein are methods of improving stability of therapeutic formulations, reducing viscosity of therapeutic formulations, or improving parameters of lyophilization processes.
