  • Publication number: 20130053556
    Abstract: Morpholinos are widely used to block the activity of selected single-stranded genetic sequences. This invention comprises Morpholinos containing one or more integral photolinkers (Photo-Morpholinos) wherein the photolinkers are directly incorporated into the sequence of a Morpholino, where the photolinker has a size and structure which emulates the size and structure of a Morpholino subunit. This integrated photolinker design substantially simplifies and reduces cost of production relative to earlier photocleavable compositions. The invention also comprises use of these Photo-Morpholinos for modulating the expression of any selected gene transcript at any selected time and at any selected site simply by exposure to light. These Photo-Morpholinos afford a new use wherein a gene transcript is rendered inactive by contacting with a Photo-Morpholino—and then later exposure to light cleaves the Photo-Morpholino to inactive fragments—thereby reactivating that previously inactivated gene transcript.

  • Patent number: 6838238
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for identifying one or more complexes from a library of complexes, wherein said complex or complexes are selected for their ability to perform a preselected or desired function on a target molecule or by having a pre-selected structure, each complex being designated a morphatide, said method comprising: (a) preparing a library of morphatides, comprised of: (i) a scaffolding component selected from the group consisting of nucleic acid, nucleic acid like molecule or nucleic acid analog having one or more regions of randomized sequence; (ii) one or more linker components; and (iii) one or more agent molecules or type of agent molecules, linked to the scaffolding component by one or more type of linker components; and (b)screening the library of morphatides prepared in step (a) by contacting, binding, or associating the morphatides with one or more suitable target molecules upon which a morphatide performs a preselected or desired function or to which a morphatide binds or associa

  • Publication number: 20040265802
    Abstract: Novel oligomers are disclosed which have enhanced ability with respect to forming duplexes or triplexes compared with oligomers containing only conventional bases. The oligomers contain the bases 5-(1-propynyl)uracil, 5-(1-propynyl)cytosine or related analogs. The oligomers of the invention are capable of (i) forming triplexes with various target sequences such as virus or oncogene sequences by coupling into the major groove of a target DNA duplex at physiological pH or (ii) forming duplexes by binding to single-stranded DNA or to RNA encoded by target genes. The oligomers of the invention can be incorporated into pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and can be constructed to have any desired sequence, provided the sequence normally includes one or more bases that is replaced with the analogs of the invention.
