  • Evolution of bioactive sequence-defined synthetic polymers using DNA-templated polymerization
    Patent number: 11649451
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for performing ordered multi-step syntheses involving modified nucleic acids by nucleic acid-mediated chemistry. This approach is useful for generating sequence-defined highly functionalized nucleic acid polymers. The invention also provides modified nucleic acid polymers that bind to proteins of interest (e.g., PCSK9 and IL-6), which are implicated in human disease.
    Type: Grant
