Abstract
The present invention relates to molecular constructs and methods of their use in detecting biochemical reactions. In particular, the invention relates to a molecular construct having a capture portion and a substrate portion, where the capture portion isolates the construct from a sample medium, and the substrate portion enables the construct to be acted upon and undergo a physical change which can be detected and measured. These molecular constructs may be used in diagnostic assays, genetic screening for potential risks of certain diseases in individuals, and drug discovery and toxicogenomics, using high throughput screening of compounds.
Claims14
A kit for detection of cleaving enzyme activity, comprising:
- (a) PNA-protein chimerae having a capture portion and a protein portion, wherein different types have different protein portions capable of being cleaved with different enzymes, but each different type has one particular protein and one particular PNA sequence capture portion;
- and
- different types of oligonucleotides displayed on differently encoded microparticles, wherein said different types of oligonucleotides are capable of annealing to different selected PNA sequence capture portions.
