The present invention relates to methods for generating functional biomolecules, particularly to methods for generating multiple functional nucleic acids against multiple target molecules simultaneously. The present invention further relates to methods for generating functional biomolecules, particularly to functional nucleic acids, that bind with functional activity to another biomolecule, such as a receptor molecule. In one exemplary aspect of the invention, generation of functional biomolecules may be performed against multiple targets simultaneously within a single system, such as the generation of functional nucleic acid ligands within a single reaction volume. In general, a plurality of targets may be disposed within in a single reaction volume and a library of biomolecules, such as a nucleic acid library, may be applied to the reaction volume. The members of the library that do not bind to any of the plurality of targets under given conditions may then be partitioned, such as by washing. The remaining members of the library may then be marked and/or tagged, such as to identify the particular target or targets to which the member of the library binds. The binding members of the library may then be isolated and, by virtue of the marking or tagging, be matched to a particular target or targets. |
