Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method for obtaining structural information about an encoded molecule. The encoded molecule may be produced by a reaction of a plurality of chemical entities and may be capable of being connected to an identifier oligonucleotide containing codons informative of the identity of the chemical entities which have participated in the formation of the encoded molecule. In a certain embodiment, primers are designed complementary to the codons appearing on the identifier oligonucleotide, and the presence, absence or relative abundance of a codon is evaluated by mixing a primer with the identifier oligonucleotide in the presence of a polymerase and substrate (deoxy)ribonucleotide triphosphates measuring the extension reaction. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for selecting compounds which binds to a target.

Abstract: Described are nicotine-degrading enzyme variants that exhibit increased nicotine-degrading activity and/or decreased immunogenicity relative to the wild-type NicA2 and NOX enzymes, compositions comprising the variants, and methods using them.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibody molecules that bind specifically to VISTA and antigen-binding portions thereof and related compositions, nucleic acid molecules, vectors and host cells. Also provided herein are medical uses of such antibody molecules.

Abstract: The present invention provides Tenascin-3 FnIII domain-based scaffolds that specifically bind to CD40L. The invention further provides engineered variants with increased affinity for the target. The present invention is also related to engineered scaffolds as prophylactic, diagnostic, or therapeutic agents, in particular for therapeutic uses against SLE and other autoimmune diseases and conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for obtaining a bifunctional complex comprising a molecule linked to a single stranded identifier oligonucleotide, wherein a nascent bifunctional complex comprising a chemical reaction site and a priming site for enzymatic addition of a tag is a) reacted at the chemical reaction site with one or more reactants, and b) reacted enzymatically at the priming site with one or more tag(s) identifying the reactant(s).
