Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for detecting a target moiety in a sample of biological specimens by the steps a) providing at least one conjugate with the general formula (I) Xn— P—Ym, with X is a detection moiety, P an acidic or basic degradable spacer and Y an antigen or oligonucleotide recognizing moiety and n, m are integers between 1 and 100 and wherein X and Y are covalently bound to P, b) binding the conjugate to the target moiety target via the antigen or oligonucleotide recognizing moiety Y, thereby labelling the target moiety, c) detecting the target moiety labelled with the conjugate by detecting the detecting moiety X, d) providing at least one precursor which is capable of releasing an acid or base when provided with radiation wherein the acid or base is capable of cleaving P, e) activating the precursor by providing radiation, thereby releasing the acid or base capable of cleaving P, and f) degrading spacer P with the released acid or base, thereby cleaving the detection moiety X from

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for production of a deoxynucleotide triphosphate according to general formula (7) wherein B is a nucleobase and R is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 10 by reaction of reaction precursor of compound 6 wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently H, O-Alkyl with alkyl residues having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or halogen and n is an integer from 1 to 10 with dialkyl(alkylthio)sulfonium salt (8B) wherein R4, R5 R6 are independently alkyl residues having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and X is selected from the group consisting of BF4?, F?, Cl?, Br?, I?, SO42?, SO32? in aqueous solution having a pH between 3 and 7.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for detecting RNA, DNA or protein target sequences by a) Hybridizing a library of probes having the general formula (I) P—(CL-D)x??(I) ?With P: probes having at least 10 nucleotides or amino acids CL: cleavable linker D: fluorescent dye X: integer between 1 and 5 ?to RNA, DNA or protein target sequences wherein the library comprises probes P having different sequences of nucleotides or amino acids and cleavable linkers CL of different groups which are cleavable with different means b) Removing unhybridized probes and detecting the hybridized probes via the fluorophores D by a first image c) Cleaving sequentially by different means each group of chemical linkers CL from the hybridized probes; removing the thus cleaved fluorophores D and detecting the remaining hybridized probes via their fluorophores D by a second image d) Detecting the removed fluorophores D by comparing the first and second image.

Abstract: Novel compounds having inhibitory activity on the formation of fungal hyphae and biofilms, and therapeutic formulations and methods based on the novel inhibitors.

Abstract: Presented herein, in certain aspects, are compositions that comprise novel toxin proteins, the nucleic acids that encode them, and/or portions thereof, which toxins are expressed by fungi of the Mucorales order and are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of Mucormycosis. Also presented herein, in certain aspects, are methods of detecting the presence or absence of novel fungal toxins and/or the nucleic adds that encode them in a sample, which methods can be used to identify the presence of Mucorales in a subject. Methods and/or compositions presented herein can be used to prevent and/or treat a Mucorales infection.
