QUASIRANDOM STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION GUIDED SYNTHESIS METHODS

摘要

The present invention is directed to the synthesis of molecules guided by connector polynucleotides (CPNs) capable of hybridizing to complementory connector polynucleotides (CCPNs) harbouring at least one functional entity comprising at least one reactive group. At least one of said CCPNs hybridize to at least two CPNs. Each CPN will "call" for one or more CCPNs capable of hybridising to the CPN. Following the formation of a supramolecular hybridization complex comprising a plurality of CPNs and a plurality of CCPNs, the reaction of functional entity reactive groups result in the formation of a molecule comprising covalently linked functional entities. The formation of the molecule involves the transfer of functional entities from one or more "donor CCPNs" to at least one "acceptor CCPN" with which the transferred functional entities were not associated prior to the transfer.
