Method Of Producing L-Cysteine

View page
US Patent:
43352103, Jun 15, 1982
Filed:
Feb 11, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/233564
Inventors:
Alton Meister - New York NY
Joanne M. Williamson - Roosevelt Island NY
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
C12P 1312
US Classification:
435113
Abstract:
L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate, a sulfur analog of 5-oxoproline, is cleaved by the enzyme 5-oxo-L-prolinase to form cysteine, thus providing the basis for a cysteine delivery system by the addition of L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate to base amino acid solutions or by injecting it directly into in vivo cells.

Glutathione Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
47846852, Nov 15, 1988
Filed:
Jul 1, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/068306
Inventors:
Alton Meister - New York NY
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
A01N 3700
US Classification:
71106
Abstract:
Substantially pure alkyl monoesters of glutathione, the ester being of the glycine carboxylic acid, and use thereof to increase cellular levels of glutathione.

Rat Glutathione Synthetase Gene

View page
US Patent:
61271659, Oct 3, 2000
Filed:
Feb 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/387117
Inventors:
Mary Elizabeth Anderson - New York NY
Alton Meister - New York NY
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
C12N 121
C12N 900
C12N 1563
C07H 2104
US Classification:
4352523
Abstract:
The present invention relates to recombinant rat kidney glutathione synthetase. This enzyme can be used to prepare glutathione analogs, and to raise antibodies against glutathione synthetase. The present invention further relates to a DNA molecule encoding rat kidney glutathione synthetase. The DNA molecule is useful for detecting the presence of the glutathione synthetase gene in animals, and for modifying cell and mammal glutathione production. The DNA molecule can also be used to construct models for evaluation of potential therapies.
