Abstract:
1. A method for creating one or more chemical compounds comprising the steps of: (i) providing N (N=3-100) carrier modules comprising: (1) a first position carrier module having a) a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a nucleic acid segment of the N position carrier module, and b) a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a segment of a second position carrier module, (2) n position carrier module(s) (occupying positions 2 to N−1) having a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a nucleic acid segment of a n−1 carrier module, and a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a segment of a n+1 carrier module, and (3) a N position carrier module having a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a nucleic acid segment of the N−1 carrier module, and a nucleic acid segment capable of hybridizing to a segment of said first carrier module, wherein at least three of said carrier modules comprise an associated chemical group (CG) situated in the mid section between the hybridization segments and optionally a codon segment situated external to one of the hybridization segments; wherein said mid section comprises 1 to 20 nucleotides, and each hybridization segment consists of 12 or more nucleotides; (ii) contacting said carrier modules under conditions allowing hybridization of said hybridization segments so as to form a structure resembling a star, wherein said star structure comprises a reaction center and a plurality of stems, and each stem is formed by two hybridizing segments complementing each other, and at least one of the stems extends radially from the reaction center so that the mid section between the two hybridization segments on each carrier module is pointing towards the center, thus bringing said chemical groups into reactive proximity; and (iii) providing conditions allowing chemical reaction(s) of the chemical groups resulting in the formation of a chemical compound, where the chemical compound is covalently associated with at least one of said carrier modules.
