  • Patent number: 7269519
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for identifying a member of a mass-coded combinatorial library which is a ligand for biomolecule and assessing the effect of the binding of the ligand to the biomolecule. The mass-coded molecular library comprises compounds of the general formula XYn, wherein n is an integer from 2 to about 6, X is a scaffold and each Y is, independently, a peripheral moiety. The mass-coded combinatorial library is produced by reacting a scaffold precursor with a sufficient number of distant peripheral moiety precursors such that there exist at least about 250 distinct combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from the peripheral moiety precursors.

  • Publication number: 20060063169
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a mass-coded combinatorial library comprising a set of compounds having the general formula X(Y)n, where X is a scaffold, each Y is, independently, a peripheral moiety, and n is an integer greater than 1. The method comprises selecting a peripheral moiety precursor subset from a peripheral moiety precursor set. The subset includes a sufficient number of peripheral moiety precursors that at least about 50 distinct combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from the peripheral moiety precursors in the subset exist. The subset of peripheral moiety precursors is selected so that at least about 90% of all possible combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from the subset have a molecular mass sum which is distinct from the molecular mass sums of all of the other combinations of n peripheral moieties. The method further comprises contacting the peripheral moiety precursor subset with a scaffold precursor which has n reactive groups.
