US Patent 7,176,035. Protein-protein interactions and methods for identifying interacting proteins and the amino acid sequence at the site of interaction.Inventor: Elias George. Assignee: Elias George.
Â
Inventors used overlapping hexapeptides that encode for the entire amino acid sequences of the linker domains of human P-glycoprotein gene 1 and 3. By doing so, they demonstrated a direct and specific binding between HP-gp1 and 3 linker domains and intracellular proteins, they said in the abstract.

US Patent 7,172,739. Protein Fractionation. Inventors: David Maughan. Assignee: University of Vermont and State Agricultural College.
Â
Patent pertains to a method and apparatus for separating polypeptide constituents of a sample fluid. A sample fluid made up of a mixture of polypeptides with different physical and/or chemical properties are contacted with at least two individual polymer matrix units. Each polymer matrix unit accepts a different set of polypeptides based on physical and/or chemical properties of the polypeptides. Finally, the polypeptides are extracted from each polymer matrix unit.
