  • Patent number: 7211654
    Abstract: A method of modulation of synthesis capacity on and cleavage properties of synthetic oligomers from solid support is described. The method utilizes linker molecules attached to a solid surface and co-coupling agents that have similar reactivities to the coupling compounds with the surface functional groups. The preferred linker molecules provide an increased density of polymers and more resistance to cleavage from the support surface. The method is particularly useful for synthesis of oligonucleotides, oligonucleotides microarrays, peptides, and peptide microarrays. The stable linkers are also coupled to anchor molecules for synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides using on support purification, eliminating time-consuming chromatography and metal cation presence. Oligonucleotides thus obtained can be directly used for mass analysis, DNA amplification and ligation, hybridization, and many other applications.

  • Publication number: 20070060536
    Abstract: The present invention describes novel compounds and methods for capping reactive groups on support and during multistep synthesis. These new capping reagents are also useful for high quality synthesis on solid supports and surfaces used as microarrays, biosensors, or in general as biochips. The compounds are also useful for controlling surface density of reactive groups on a support. The compounds may also be used to modify the hydrophilic/hydrophobic characteristics of a surface or a molecule. The compounds have functional utility in various applications in the fields of genomics, proteomics, diagnostics and medicine.

  • Publication number: 20070059692
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides efficient and reproducible methods for individually synthesizing oligomers in a parallel manner (e.g., oligonucleotides) on a solid support to produce pools of oligomers. Pools of oligonucleotides can be used for a variety of genomic and proteomic applications, including synthesis of genes or long DNA of any arbitrary sequence, PCR template amplification, and to generate primers for multiplexing PCR or transcription. Rapid availability of these oligonucleotide products will greatly accelerate the processes of de novo protein design, vaccine development, production of short RNA fragments, such as siRNA, oligonucleotide-based drug screening, and SNP sample preparation.
