Templated molecules and methods for using such molecules
The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing templated molecules. In one aspect of the invention, the templated molecules are linked to the template which templated the synthesis thereof. The intion allows the generation of libraries which can be screened for e.g. therapeutic activity.
1. A library comprising a plurality of different small non-peptide molecules, each small non-peptide molecule linked to a double stranded identifier oligonucleotide comprising complementary nucleotide sequences, wherein each nucleotide strand is capable of identifying the small non-peptide molecule linked to the double stranded identifier oligonucleotide.
2. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 1 , wherein said library comprises a plurality of more than or about 10 3 different small non-peptide molecules.
3. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 1 , wherein said library comprises a plurality of more than or about 10 7 different small non-peptide molecules.
4. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of the small non-peptide molecules is linked to one strand of double stranded identifier oligonucleotide.
5. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 4 , wherein one or more of the small non-peptide molecules is covalently linked to one strand of double stranded identifier oligonucleotide.
6. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 4 , wherein one or more of the small non-peptide molecules is further linked to the other strand of double stranded identifier oligonucleotide.
7. The library of different small non-peptide molecules according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more of the small non-peptide molecules is covalently linked to other strand of double stranded identifier oligonucleotide.
8. The library of claim 1 , wherein each strand of the double stranded identifier contains from 8 to 1,000 nucleotides.
9. The library of claim 8 , wherein each strand of the double stranded identifier contains from 8 to 400 nucleotides.
10. The library of claim 9 , wherein each strand of the double stranded identifier contains from 12 to 100 nucleotides.
11. The library of claim 10 , wherein each strand of the double stranded identifier contains from 15 to 100 nucleotides.
