The present invention provides methods and compositions comprising at least one isoprene synthase enzyme with improved specific productivity. In particular, the present invention provides variant plant isoprene synthases for increased isoprene production in host cells.

Isoprene synthase variants for improved production of isoprene

The present invention provides a three-dimensional structures ofisoprene synthase andisoprene synthase. The invention also provides methods of using the three-dimensional structure to design isoprene synthases with improved activity for increased isoprene production in microbial host cells. Biosynthetically produced isoprene of the present invention finds use in the manufacture of rubber and elastomers.

Three-dimensional structure of isoprene synthase and its use thereof for generating variants

The invention provides for compositions and methods for producing isoprene using isoprene synthase variants with improved properties.

Identification of isoprene synthase variants with improved properties for the production of isoprene

The present invention provides peptides and supported peptides for treating various diseases and conditions. In particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides compositions and methods for personal care. In some embodiments the present invention provides compositions for use in skin and/or hair care, as well as cosmetic compositions. IN alternative particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides peptides and supported peptides for treating diseases of the skin, such as rosacea. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the supported peptides of the present invention are anti-VEGF peptides. In alternative particularly preferred embodiments, the anti-VEGF peptides are expressed on a scaffold protein. In some most preferred embodiments, the scaffold protein comprises BBI.
