A system and method are disclosed for utilizing sensors with existing devices. An interface module is used in combination with a newer sensor, such as a fluorescence oxygen sensor, and an older legacy device. The older legacy device supplies a polarizing voltage, and anticipates a measured current of between 0 and 100 nA. The newer sensor requires no polarizing voltage and delivers an output of 0-10 volts in one embodiment, and 4-20 mA in another embodiment. The interface module receives the output from the sensor, and converts it into a useable signal to the legacy device. In another embodiment, the interface module comprises a number of outputs, such that both legacy devices and newer devices can be in communication with the sensor simultaneously. The interface module can be used in conjunction with a reactor chamber or other pharmaceutical process.

Converter for use with sensing devices

The invention pertains to bioconjugation systems comprising sterically constrained cis-diols and borates.

Constrained cis-diol-borate bioconjugation system

Compositions and methods for inhibiting arginase activity, including arginase activity in a mammal, are provided. Methods of making the compositions of the invention are also provided as are methods of using the compositions therapeutically. The compositions described herein are useful for alleviating or inhibiting a variety of arinase- and NO synthase-related disorders, including heart disease, gastrointestinal motility disorders, and penile erectile dysfunction in humans.
