A strategy to quantify activity-conformations of mutated and cancer relevant RAF kinases in vivo. The full-length kinase is the basis for an extendable cell-based reporter platform which enables noninvasive recordings of open (active) and closed (inactive) RAF conformations following dose- and time-dependent exposure with approved drugs or promising lead molecules.
Strategy to systematically quantify protein complex formation of cancer relevant, full length, and mutated RAS:RAF in vivo. The presented extendable reporter system facilitates the identification of lead molecules which reduce/prevent either directly or allosterically the formation of carcinogenic H-,K-,N-RAS : A-,B-,C-RAF complexes in vivo.
In today's passenger cars, a large number of sensors are installed which monitor the vehicle condition. For example, since 01.11.2014, all new cars have to be fitted with tire pressure sensors according to the EU regulation. The monitoring of the springs is another very important measuring parameter. This sensor electronics weighs about 40 g and is attached to the wheel housing. The so-called VNA wheel sensor can be used for the following contactless measurements: tire pressure, tire moisture, wheel speed, spring depth, suspension speed, steering angle and foreign body detection.
The VNA wheel sensor consists of a permissible transmitter for a broadband microwave signal (in the microwave range), a vector network analyzer (VNA) and an evaluation unit.
A German and an international patent application were filed, international applications are still possible.
In the name of the University of Applied Sciences Aachen, we offer interested companies the opportunity to license and further develop the technology.
