MACROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS WITH A HYBRID PEPTIDIC/NON-PEPTIDIC BACKBONE AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

Methods and compositions are provided that utilize synthetic molecules and genetically encoded polypeptides to generate macrocyclic peptide-containing molecules with a hybrid peptidic/non-peptidic backbone. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, and methods for generating libraries of macrocyclic peptide-containing molecules with a hybrid peptidic/non-peptidic backbone. These methods can be used to increase the structural diversity of ligand libraries as well as facilitate the functional screening of these libraries to identify compound(s) with desired activity properties.
