  • Parallel selex
    Patent number: 5789160
    Abstract: This invention disclosures a method for coevolving products from two or more reactants, along with the nucleic acid that can facilitate the reaction for making the products. The invention further discloses the products and facilitating nucleic acids produced by said method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: August 4, 1998
    Assignee: NeXstar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    Inventors: Bruce E. Eaton, Larry Gold
  • Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment: chimeric selex
    Patent number: 5773598
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for producing chimeric nucleic acid molecules with two or more functionalities. A chimeric library is generated in which individual chimeric molecules combine the functions or characteristics of two or more parent libraries, each parent library having been selected through the SELEX procedure for a specific function or feature. The chimeric molecules of this invention are useful in a variety of ways, including having improved affinities for a target molecule, enhancing assembly of multi-component molecules, and promoting reactions between two molecules.

  • BF3-tertiary etherate complexes for isobutylene polymerization
    Patent number: 5068490
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are boron trifluoride etherate complexes in which the ether of the complex has at least one tertiary carbon bonded to an ether oxygen. The etherates are useful for polymerizing a one-olefin or mixtures thereof, preferably comprising isobutylene, whereby the resulting polymer contains a high percentage (80-100%) vinylidene character.
