The invention describes methods for labeling or detecting of immobilized poly(amino acids), including peptides, polypeptides and proteins, on membranes and other solid supports, using fluorescent dipyrrometheneboron difluoride dyes. Such immobilized poly(amino acids) are labeled or detected on blots or on arrays of poly(amino acids), or are attached to immobilized aptamers.

The present invention relates to novel microparticles formed of amphiphilic polyamino acids which transport active principle(s), AP(s), in particular protein and peptide active principle(s), and to novel modified-release pharmaceutical formulations comprising said AP microparticles. The aim of the invention is to develop novel microparticles, charged with AP, obtained by aggregation of nanoparticles of amphiphilic polyamino acids and having improved properties, in particular in the dry solid form, with regard to their ability to be dispersed and, concerning the reconstituted suspension, its stability and its ability to be easily handled and injected. The invention relates firstly to microparticles of amphiphilic polyamino acid (PO) comprising at least one AP (associated noncovalently) which spontaneously form a colloidal suspension of nanoparticles in water, at pH 7.0, under isotonic conditions; which microparticles a. are obtained by atomization of a solution or colloidal suspension of PO comprising at least one AP, b. have a size of between 0.5 and 100 microns, c. and are dispersible in colloidal suspension. The invention also relates to the process for the preparation of these microparticles, to a liquid formulation comprising a suspension of these PO / AP microparticles, to a reconstitution process and kit for this formulation and to a dry form of this formulation.

Methods regarding local regional treatment in situ for an individual, such as of a tumor, are provided herein. A hydrogel composition is generated in situ in the tumor by administering a polymer, such as a polysaccharide or a polyamino acid, with a therapeutic agent, such as a radionuclide or a drug, and administering a cross-linking agent. The hydrogel / therapeutic agent composition is retained in the tumor for safe and efficient tumor therapy. Alternatively, a hydrogel composition is generated in situ in an artery which nourishes a tumor to occlude the artery.

A nucleic acid formulation for use in gene delivery comprising a nucleic acid and an anionic polymer is disclosed. Examples of the anionic polymer includes anionic amino acid polymer or poly-amino acid (such as poly-L-glutamic acid, poly-D-glutamic acid, poly-L-aspartic acid, poly-D-aspartic acid), poly-acrylic acid, polynucleotides, poly galacturonic acid, and poly vinyl sulfate.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the cleaning performance of a washing or cleaning agent comprising at least one hydrolytic enzyme by addition of a component capable of synergistic interaction with the enzyme. Components capable of such positive synergistic interaction with hydrolytic enzymes include: (i) an amino acid, a polyamino acid, or derivatives thereof; (ii) a biosurfactant; (iii) a microbial metabolite, and a preparation of a microbial culture supernatant that contains at least 2.5 wt % of (i), (ii), or (iii). Additionally, the present invention comprises a method for washing textiles or hard surfaces with an enzymatic washing or cleaning agent that includes at least one of the components (i), (ii), or (iii) capable of increasing the cleaning performance of the washing or cleaning agent through synergistic interaction with the hydrolytic enzyme.

The present invention provides methods of creating and using OB protein compositions with an antibody constant region or portion thereof fused to an OB protein. The fusion protein is created by attaching the polyamino acids to the OB protein moiety. The fusion proteins can then be used for various therapeutic uses.

The invention discloses a multi-effect soil conditioner and a preparation method of the multi-effect soil conditioner. The multi-effect soil conditioner comprises the raw materials, by weight, 600-740 parts of organic solid waste, 150-210 parts of flyash and 110-190 parts of polyamino acid superabsorbent. The 600-740 parts of the organic solid waste, the 150-210 parts of the flyash and the 110-190 parts of the polyamino acid superabsorbent are mixed sufficiently and dried to granulate. The soil conditioner has various advantages of being water-holding and fertilizer-saving, and increasing plant soil nutrient and improving soil physico-chemical property and the like. The soil conditioner can be applied to various qualitative soils and play a crucial role in restoring special soils such as high level of fluoride soil and clayey soil, and also play a crucial role in wind prevention and sand fixation.
