چکیده

Hybrid combinatorial chemistry strategies that use DNA as an information-carrying medium are proving to be powerful tools for molecular discovery. In order to extend these efforts, we present a highly parallel format for DNA-programmed chemical library synthesis. The new format uses a standard microwell plate footprint and is compatible with commercially available automation technology. It can accommodate a wide variety of combinatorial synthetic schemes with up to 384 different building blocks per chemical step. We demonstrate that fluidic routing of DNA populations in the highly parallel format occurs with excellent specificity, and that chemistry on DNA arrayed into 384 well plates proceeds robustly, two requirements for the high-fidelity translation and efficient in vitro evolution of small molecules.

Highly Parallel Translation of DNA Sequences into Small Molecules

A large body of in vitro evolution work establishes the utility of biopolymer libraries comprising 10(10) to 10(15) distinct molecules for the discovery of nanomolar-affinity ligands to proteins. Small-molecule libraries of comparable complexity will likely provide nanomolar-affinity small-molecule ligands. Unlike biopolymers, small molecules can offer the advantages of cell permeability, low i...

Assessment of "drug-likeness" of a small library of natural products using chemoinformatics

Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...

Synthetic ligands discovered by in vitro selection.

The recognition and catalytic properties of biopolymers derive from an elegant evolutionary mechanism, whereby the genetic material encoding molecules with superior functional attributes survives a selective pressure and is propagated to subsequent generations. This process is routinely mimicked in vitro to generate nucleic-acid or peptide ligands and catalysts. Recent advances in DNA-programme...

DNA microarrays as decoding tools in combinatorial chemistry and chemical biology.

Over the last few years, laterally microstructured arrays of DNA and protein probes have been developed as tools for high-throughput experimentation in biomedical research. These devices have the advantage of spatial addressability of the probes and require only small amounts of analyte. The development of protein microarrays is still obstructed by the intrinsic instability of many proteins, wh...
