METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING HIGH-AFFINITY COMPLEXES OF TWO LIGANDS AND A RECEPTOR, DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD AND SELF-ASSEMBLYING CHEMICAL LIBRARY FOR USE WITH SAID METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the sensitive identification of high-affinity complexes of two ligands (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and a receptor (1). To this end, a plurality of different ligands (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) of a chemical library are brought into contact with at least one receptor (1) in a solution. The ligands of the library have single-stranded DNA (8, 9) or RNA with a base length of 2 to 10 bases or, alternatively, more than 10 bases. The solution is incubated for a specified period of time and complexes of two ligands (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and a receptor (1) are identified.
