A method of forming a solid-phase support, the method including the steps of providing a substrate having a reaction vessel, dispensing a particle in the reaction vessel, and permanently bonding the particle in the substrate within the reaction vessel. The particle may include a microbead. The particle may include controlled pore glass. A method of synthesis is also disclosed that includes including the steps of providing a solid-phase support including a particle embedded to the substrate adjacent a surface of substrate, the particle being functionalized to covalently attach an intermediate compound of a synthetic reaction, dispensing a liquid including a reagent to the solid-phase support to effect the synthetic reaction, and removing the liquid from the solid-phase support by centrifugation, whereby the intermediate compound remains attached to the substrate by the particle.

A simple, efficient apparatus and method for separating layers of immiscible or partially miscible liquids useful in methods of high-throughput combinatorial organic synthesis or parallel extraction of large libraries or megaarrays of organic compounds is disclosed. The apparatus and method are useful, whether as part of an automated, robotic or manual system for combinatorial organic synthesis or purification (extraction). In a preferred embodiment, an apparatus and method for separating layers of immiscible or partially miscible liquids compatible with microtiter plate type array(s) of reaction vessels is disclosed. Another application of centrifugation based liquid removal was found for washing the plates in biological assays or synthesis on modified substrates.
摘要:
Described is a system and method for synthesizing polymeric molecules such as oligonucleotides and polypeptides. The system is capable of continuously synthesizing molecules by providing an array of reaction sites and an array of stations for carrying out synthetic manipulations. The reaction sites in the former array can be placed in a fixed order and at fixed intervals relative to each other. Similarly, the stations can be placed in a fixed order and at fixed intervals relative to each other. The two arrays can be moved relative to each other such that the stations carry out desired steps of a reaction scheme at each reaction site. The relative locations of the stations and the schedule for the relative movement can correlate with the order and duration of reaction steps in the reaction scheme such that once a reaction site has completed a cycle of interacting with the full array of stations then the reaction scheme is complete.

Analogues of 8-D-homoarginine vasopressin were prepared with the general formula ##STR1## where X is L-O-methyltyrosine, L-p-ethylphenylalanine, D-p-ethylphenylalanine, L-p-methylphenylalanine or D-methylphenylalanine and R is cysteine or .beta.-mercaptopropionic acid. These vasopressin analogues exhibited an increased affinity to uterus receptors for oxytocin, where they acted as ocytocin antagonists. Moreover, the analogues of deamino vasopressin have a significantly reduced antidiuretic activity in comparison with [8-D-arginine]vasopressin.

The present invention relates to methods for determining the amino acid composition, and more preferably the sequence, of a peptide using mass spectrometric techniques. The method is particularly useful for sequencing peptides isolated from natural sources or from libraries of peptides that have been prepared synthetically, and for peptides that are not amenable to Edman degradation sequencing. In one embodiment, the method for determining the amino acid composition or sequence of a peptide comprises determining the difference of the mass of the peptide from the mass of a deuterium-hydrogen exchanged peptide, and from this difference determining the number of exchangeable (labile) hydrogen atoms (protons). Candidate peptides having amino acid compositions or sequences that do not contain the observed number of exchangeable protons are eliminated. In another embodiment, synthesis of a portion of the peptides in a library of peptides is terminated after each coupling step, whereby a set of sequentially truncated fragments of each peptide is formed. Thus the sequence of the peptide can be determined by determining the difference in the molecular weight between each peptide or fragment thereof and the sequentially smaller fragment of the peptide.

An electroosmotic (EO) pump is provided that includes a housing having a pump cavity, a porous core medium and electrodes. The porous core medium is positioned within the pump cavity to form an exterior reservoir that extends at least partially about an exterior surface of the porous core medium. The porous core medium has an open inner chamber provided therein. The inner chamber represents an interior reservoir. The electrodes are positioned in the inner chamber and are positioned proximate the exterior surface. The electrodes induce flow of a fluid through the porous core medium between the interior and exterior reservoirs, wherein a gas is generated when the electrodes induce flow of the fluid. The housing has a fluid inlet to convey the fluid to one of the interior reservoir and the exterior reservoir. The housing has a fluid outlet to discharge the fluid from another of the interior reservoir and the exterior reservoir. The housing has a gas removal device to remove the gas from the pump cavity.
