摘要:
The present invention concerns nucleic acid molecules, or complex of molecules, which have no catalytic activity in the absence of a specific co-factor, and feature catalytic activity only in the presence of a specific co-factor. The present invention further concerns methods for the production of said molecules, or complex of molecules, particularly utilizing in vitro evolution, as well as their usage in diagnostics and therapeutics.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for detecting the presence of a catalytically active ribozyme in a medium. The detection of the catalytically active ribozyme may be a goal by itself, or the ribozyme may serve as a reporter for the presence of other biomolecules in an assayed sample. The detection is carried out in a catalytic system wherein the presence of the active ribozyme serves to produce other active ribozyme in a positive-feedback amplificatory manner.
摘要:
The invention concerns an array of catalytic nucleic acid sequences or sequences having a potential of becoming catalytic having a predetermined spatial arrangement. The array may be used for detection purposes or for the purpose of in vitro evolution.
摘要:
A method for detecting the presence of an assayed nucleic acid sequence in a sample is an essentially two-stage procedure. In a first stage the sample is reacted in a manner which gives rise to the production of a triggering RNA where the sample contains the assayed sequence. In the second stage, the reaction product is incubated under appropriate conditions with an amplification reagent ensemble whereby, in the presence of triggering RNA a large amount of a nucleic acid product is obtained. The detection of this product thus indicates the presence of the assayed sequence in the sample.
摘要:
The invention concerns prodrugs wherein the drug converts from its active form to its inactive form due to catalytic activity of nucleic acid sequences associated with the prodrug.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method and kit for carrying out in vitro evolution of catalytic nucleic acid sequences in a continuous manner, wherein the evolving nucleic acid sequences are DNA sequences.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for in vitro evolution of oligonucleotides. In the method of the invention the negative selection step, in which undesired oligonucleotides are removed, utilizes a unique random tag sequence attached to the evolving oligonucleotides which enables to eliminate, by hybridization, undesired oligonucleotides.
