It was discovered independently by two different scientific groups, Frankel and Pabo and Green and Loewenstein, in 1988 (Koren and Torchilin, Huang et al., Dupont et al.). The complete TAT protein of HIV-1 has three domains consisting of 101 amino acid residues. Just as its name implies, there is a domain responsible for transactivation activity and makes up the N-terminal region, a domain that is cysteine…

vs. Walter Liew, Liew is being charged with over 20 criminal counts, with one of them being misappropriation of trade secrets (Levine). Liew had gotten paid millions of dollars by a Chinese company to apprehend trade secrets of the American company Dupont in order to solidify the company in China. Liew, 56, living in California, received 28 million in order to bribe engineers and other employees for confidential paperwork that the Chinese company wanted. What was the score?

Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) was the solvent initially used for the polymerization, but for safety reasons, DuPont replaced it by a solution of N-methyl-pyrrolidone and calcium chloride. As this process had been patented by Akzo (see above) in the production of Twaron, a patent war ensued.Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide – branded Kevlar – was invented by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek while working for DuPont,[6] in anticipation of a gasoline shortage. In 1964, her group began…

line (people, profit, planet) in order to be sustainable. An example of business model that failed because of their inability to be sustainable was DuPont Chemicals. DuPont decided to ignore the triple bottom line and dump all their excess chemicals into a local water supply contaminating the water supply and destroying the eco system around it.

This philosophy is key in Climate Capitalism by Hunter Lovins and in Time to Choose by Charles Ferguson. Both illustrate the…

synthetic fiber to be used in advanced technology applications such as bulletproof materials. Invention The invention of Kevlar® was developed in 1965 by a chemist, Stephanie Kwolek. Kwolek made the breakthrough while working at DuPont Laboratory. While she was working for DuPont™, her research team searched for a lightweight but strong and durable fiber for tires to be used in racing. She dissolved her polymer, poly-p-phenylene-terephthalate and poly benzamide. The solution came out strange,…

electronically across organizations within a region, community or hospital system. In practice the term HIE may also refer to the organization that facilitates the exchange.

dropped in 2013 when both Monsanto and Dupont agreed to end the lawsuit and actually decided to work together (Huff 2013). Monsanto will license DuPont to use their patented GMO-seed formula. This joint venture between the top contenders of the agricultural industry is essentially making the biggest monopoly on GMO-seed by joining forces. In conclusion, Monsanto has all the characteristics of a monopoly. They are now one buyer to many sellers, with the help of DuPont at their side. They have…
