  • Evolving new molecular function
    Patent number: 8206914
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2012
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: David R. Liu, Zev J. Gartner, Jeffrey B. Doyon, Christopher T. Calderone, Matthew W. Kanan, Xiaoyu Li, Thomas M. Snyder, Daniel M. Rosenbaum
