US Fed News Service, Including US State News | July 4, 2008 | Copyright

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- Chong-Sheng Yuan of San Diego has developed an alpha-methylacyl coenzyme A (CoA) racemase assaying method.

According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present invention provides a method for assaying alpha-methylacyl- CoA racemase activity. In the assay, a sample containing an alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase or suspected of containing an alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase is contacted with (2R)-2-methylacyl-CoA. If alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase is present in the sample, (2R)-2-methylacyl-CoA is converted into (2S)-2-methylacyl-CoA. The method then utilizes a ...
