  • Publication number: 20230357757
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for producing nucleic acid encoded compounds and libraries of nucleic acid encoded compounds. A nascent compound that comprises a scaffold connected to a solid support by a linker is covalently attached to one or more chemical building blocks to form a chemical portion attached to the scaffold. Coding oligonucleotides encoding the one or more chemical building blocks are covalently attached to the nascent compound to form a coding nucleic acid portion attached to the scaffold. A cleaving group is attached to the chemical portion, nucleic acid portion, or scaffold of the compound. The linker is then reacted with the cleaving group, such that the linker is cleaved and the compound released from the solid support. Nucleic acid encoded compounds and libraries and methods for their production are provided.

  • Patent number: 10996226
    Abstract: A library is provided having a plurality of recombinant derivatives of the SH3 domain of the Fyn kinase of SEQ ID NO: 1, where one or more of the derivatives have a specific binding affinity to a protein or peptide that is not a natural SH3 binding ligand. Substantially each of the derivatives of the SH3 domain of the Fyn kinase of SEQ ID NO: 1 has an amino acid sequence with at least 80% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and at least 90% identity to the amino acid of SEQ ID NO: 1 outside the src and RT loops. Additionally, the amino acid sequence has at least one amino acid in or positioned up to two amino acids adjacent to the RT loop or the src loop of SEQ ID NO: 1 which is substituted, deleted or added.
