FUNCTIONAL LIGANDS TO THC
The present invention relates functional ligands to target molecules, particularly to functional nucleic acids and modifications thereof, and to methods for simultaneously generating, for example, numerous different functional biomolecules, particularly to methods for generating numerous different functional nucleic acids against multiple target molecules simultaneously. The present invention further relates to functional ligands which bind with affinity to target molecules, such as THC.
1 . An artificial ligand binding to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) comprising a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid sequence having substantial homology or identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDs 1-71.
2 . The artificial ligand of claim 1 wherein at least one nucleotide is substituted with a non-natural analog.
