Abstract: Nature evolves biological molecules such as proteins through iterated rounds of diversification, selection, and amplification. The power of Nature and the flexibility of organic synthesis are combined in nucleic acid-templated synthesis. The present invention provides a variety of template architectures for performing nucleic acid-templated synthesis, methods for increasing the selectivity of nucleic acid-templated reactions, methods for performing stereoselective nucleic acid-templated reactions, methods of selecting for reaction products resulting from nucleic acid-templated synthesis, and methods of identifying new chemical reactions based on nucleic acid-templated synthesis.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for performing multi-step nucleic acid mediated synthesis of a highly diverse collection of molecules, for example, small molecules and polymers. In the method, in at least two steps, multiple reaction intermediates and/or products are produced in the same step by different chemical reactions.
