  • Modulation of the binding properties of nucleic acid binding partners
    Patent number: 7682786
    Abstract: A method for specifically determining the presence of a target by contacting said target in the presence of other targets with a probe capable of binding to said target to form a complex of said target with said probe, wherein the contacting is performed in the presence of a compound enhancing the specificity of said binding or the complex formed is contacted with a compound enhancing the specificity of said binding. This method opens the way to a better discrimination between related nucleic acid sequences in diagnostic assays.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 23, 2010
    Inventors: Henrik Ørum, Ane-Ullerup Lester
  • MODULATION OF THE BINDING PROPERTIES OF NUCLEIC ACID BINDING PARTNERS

  • Solid carriers with peptide nucleic acid probes and methods for regeneration
    Patent number: 7125972
    Abstract: A method for the detection of point mutation and polymorphisms in nucleic acids or for sequencing of unknown nucleic acids by a simple procedure using arrays uses nucleic acid analoges as sequence discriminators. This procedure simplifies the working mode in complex problematic cases.
