  • Patent number: 6787315
    Abstract: Methods of identifying ligand binding sites in a target molecule such as a polynucleotide or polypeptide, as well as methods for determining whether a particular site in a target molecule is at or near the ligand binding site, are provided. Ligand binding affinities corresponding to both the target molecule and a modified version thereof are compared, preferably using mass spectral analysis. The modified molecules, or test molecules, incorporate a modification capable of modulating ligand binding affinity when located at or near the ligand binding sites. Binding site information is derived from the known position of the modification.

  • Patent number: 6750344
    Abstract: The present invention provides monocyclic, bicyclic and oligomeric amine compounds with at least two sites of diversity. These compounds are formed from monocyclic scaffolds which can be cyclized to form bicyclic amine scaffolds. These can then be reacted with building blocks to form the amine compounds of the invention. This invention further provides libraries or monocyclic, bicyclic and oligomeric amine compounds. Also provided are methods for preparing monocyclic, bicyclic and oligomeric amine compounds and libraries thereof. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions of the monocyclic, bicyclic and oligomeric amine compounds.
