Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for obtaining a bifunctional complex comprising a molecule linked to a single stranded identifier oligonucleotide, wherein a nascent bifunctional complex comprising a chemical reaction site and a priming site for enzymatic addition of a tag is a) reacted at the chemical reaction site with one or more reactants, and b) reacted enzymatically at the priming site with one or more tag(s) identifying the reactant(s).
Abstract:
A building block having the dual capabilities of recognising an encoding element and transferring a Functional Entity Precursor to a recipient reactive group is disclosed. The building block may be used in the generation of a single complex or libraries of different complexes, wherein the complex comprises an encoded molecule linked to an encoding element. Libraries of complexes are useful in the quest for pharmaceutically active compounds.
