Assignee:
Ibis Biosciences, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
C12P 19/34
US Classification:
435 912
Abstract:
There is a need for nucleic acid analysis which is both specific and rapid, and in which no nucleic acid sequencing is required. The present invention addresses this need, among others by providing a method of nucleic acid amplification of overlapping sub-segments of a nucleic acid followed by molecular mass measurement of resulting amplification products by mass spectrometry, and determination of the base compositions of the amplification products.
Optimization Of Ligand Affinity For Rna Targets Using Mass Spectrometry

Assignee:
Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
C40B 30/00
US Classification:
506 9, 436173, 435 6
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for the identification ligand compounds that bind to target molecules such as proteins or structured RNA with as little as millimolar (mM) affinity using mass spectrometry. The methods may be used to determine the mode of binding interaction between two or more of these ligand compounds to the target as well as their relative affinities. Also provided are methods for designing compounds having greater affinity to a target molecule by identifying two or more ligands using mass spectrometry methods of the invention and linking the ligands together to form a novel compound.
Molecular Interaction Sites Of 16S Ribosomal Rna And Methods Of Modulating The Same

International Classification:
C12Q001/68 G06F019/00 G01N033/48 G01N033/50
US Classification:
435006000, 702020000
Abstract:
Polynucleotides comprising molecular interaction sites of 16S rRNA that have particular secondary structure are provided. Methods of using such polynucleotides to screen, virtually or actually, combinatorial libraries of compounds that bind thereto are also provided. Method of modulating the activity of 16S rRNA by contacting 16S rRNA or prokaryotic cells containing the same with a compound identified by such virtual or actual screening are also provided.
