Abstract
The present invention features a number of methods for identifying one or more compounds that bind to a biological target. The methods include synthesizing a library of compounds, wherein the compounds contain a functional moiety having one or more diversity positions. The functional moiety of the compounds is operatively linked to an initiator oligonucleotide that identifies the structure of the functional moiety.
Claims17
A library of at least 1,000,000 different complexes, wherein each complex comprises:
- (a) a bifunctional linker comprising a first functional group and a second functional group;
- (b) a compound comprising at least two chemical building blocks;
- (c) a single-stranded initiator oligonucleotide, wherein the initiator oligonucleotide forms a hairpin structure, the hairpin structure having a single-stranded loop comprising at least one natural nucleoside or nucleoside analog;
- and
- (d) an identifier region that encodes the compound, the identifier region comprising at least two oligonucleotide tags, the first oligonucleotide tag encoding the first chemical building block of the compound and the second oligonucleotide tag encoding the second chemical building block of the compound,
- wherein the first functional group of the bifunctional linker is covalently bound to the first chemical building block of the compound;
- wherein the second functional group of the bifunctional linker is covalently bound to the single-stranded initiator oligonucleotide;
- wherein the first oligonucleotide tag of the identifier region is ligated to the initiator oligonucleotide;
- wherein the second oligonucleotide tag of the identifier region is ligated to the complex through ligation to the first oligonucleotide tag of the identifier region;
- and
- wherein the second functional group of the bifunctional linker is covalently bound within the initiator oligonucleotide or in the middle of the initiator oligonucleotide;
- the complexes comprising different compounds.
