US Patent:
20080248511, Oct 9, 2008
Filed:
Mar 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/056073
Inventors:
William Daily - Sant Maria CA, US
Erika Hawkins - Pembal, CA
Dieter Klaubert - Arroyo Grande CA, US
Mark McDougall - Arroyo Grande CA, US
James Unch - Arroyo Grande CA, US
Keith V. Wood - Mt. Horeb WI, US
Wenhui Zhou - Santa Maria CA, US
Ji Zhu - Ossining NY, US
International Classification:
C07D 209/16
C12Q 1/66
US Classification:
435 8, 548503
Abstract:
The present invention relates to single and dual reporter luminescence assays utilizing reagents to quench an optical, e.g., an enzyme-mediated luminescence, reaction. In one embodiment of the invention, a reagent is added to an assay which selectively quenches a first enzyme-mediated luminescence reaction without affecting a subsequent distinct enzyme-mediated luminescent reaction(s). An assay kit containing one or more selective quench reagents, and compositions comprising the quench reagent(s), are also provided.

US Patent:
20120117667, May 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 2, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/287992
Inventors:
Dieter H. Klaubert - Arroyo Grande CA, US
Poncho Meisenheimer - San Luis Obispo CA, US
James Unch - Arroyo Grande CA, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/66
A61K 49/00
C07D 487/04
US Classification:
800 3, 544350, 435 8
Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a modified luciferase polypeptide and novel coelenterazine-based substrates. The OgLuc variant polypeptide has at least 60% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 and at least one amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to an amino acid in SEQ ID NO: 1. The OgLuc variant polypeptide has at least one of enhanced luminescence, enhanced signal stability, and enhanced protein stability relative to the corresponding polypeptide of the wild-type luciferase.
