摘要:
A method of binding a target molecule from an analyte containing the target molecule in admixture with at least one non-target molecule, which method comprises exposing the analyte to a substrate comprising first and second surface binding components, wherein the first surface binding component has specific binding affinity with respect to the target molecule but is independently unable to provide effective binding of the target molecule to the substrate, wherein the second surface binding component has non-specific binding affinity with respect to the target molecule and is independently unable to provide effective specific binding of the target molecule to the substrate, and wherein the target molecule is immobilized on the substrate by the combined binding effect of the first and second surface binding components.
摘要:
A method of immobilising a target molecule on a substrate, which comprises exposing the target molecule to the substrate in the presence of a metal complex, wherein the target molecule is an unmodified target molecule, and wherein the metal complex is selected to provide a stable binding interaction between the target molecule and the substrate.
摘要:
This invention relates to porous polymer films and methods for their preparation. In particular the present invention relates to a method for preparing porous polymer films using ATRP or RAFT polymerisation, or using graft polymers prepared by living/controlled polymerisation or using microgels, methods for enhancing the uniformity of pore size in porous polymer films or for preparing porous polymer films having regularly spaced pores of substantially regular pore size, and methods for facilitating the casting of porous polymer films or for controlling or increasing the pore size of porous polymer films.
摘要:
A method of producing a binding surface for a target molecule having a functional binding site, which method comprises: (i) identifying within the target molecule an anchor site which is remote from the functional binding site; (ii) generating a pharmacophore model for the anchor site; (iii) using the pharmacophore model to identify an anchor site binding ligand; and (iv) providing the anchor site binding ligand on a surface of a substrate such that the ability of the anchor site binding ligand to bind to the anchor site is preserved.
摘要:
The present invention provides improved methods for conducting living/controlled polymerization on polymeric solid supports. The improved methods allow polymerization to occur directly from the non-functionalized surface of a bulk support. In addition, polymerization may be re-initiated to provide co-polymers. The disclosed methods may employ the non-nitroxide-based RAFT and ATRP control agents that allow controlled polymerization to proceed at relatively low temperatures (
摘要:
The present invention relates to a surface discovery system comprising chemical compositions and high-throughput combinatorial synthesis methods for generating large numbers of diverse surface coatings on solid substrates. This surface discovery platform is built upon a fundamental chemical unit referred to as a synthon. Each synthon comprises at least three elements: a chemical backbone coating on the solid substrate that comprises a passive (P) constituent and an active (A) constituent; a spacer unit (S) separating the backbone from a functional group; and a functional group (F). Variation of these synthon elements allows generation of large libraries surface coatings with a broad range of molecular and macroscopic properties. Further the spectrum of surfaces provided by the invention permits optimization of the wide range of solid-phase applications that involve surface immobilization of molecules.
