Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the identification of novel receptors and/or novel ligands. The invention is based on the concept that parasites have developed a number of biologically-active compounds in their saliva to cope with the defence mechanisms of the host organisms on which they feed and to manipulate the biological functions of host molecules to their advantage. These saliva compounds can be used to identify novel molecules within the host systems. Furthermore, these saliva compounds can be used to elucidate the functions of molecules whose existence is already known.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une nouvelle approche qui combine la facilité de clivage des bras lieurs de l'acide carboxylique avec la chimie de couplage des monophosphoramidites des supports universels et qui est utile dans la système des oligonucléotides. Cette invention décrit une nouvelle classe de réactifs phosphoramidites, les phosphoramidites lieurs, qui contiennent un bras lieur bifonctionnel comportant un nucléocide protégé lié via une liaison 3'-ester à une extrémité et un groupe phosphoramidite réactif ou un autre groupe précurseur de phosphates à l'autre extrémité (voir figures 2 et 3). Le groupe phosphoramidite sur le phosphoramidite lieur peut être activé dans les mêmes conditions et avec une réactivité similaire que les réactifs nucléosides-3'-phosphoramidites traditionnels auxquels il manque le bras lieur intermédiaire. La liaison 3'-ester contenue dans le phosphoramidite lieur possède des propriétés similaires aux liaisons des supports prédérivatisés. La liaison ester est stable dans toutes les étapes de synthèse ultérieures, mais, après traitement avec un réactif de clivage, tel que l'hydroxyde d'ammonium, la liaison ester s'hydrolyse. C'est ce qui libère le produit oligonucléotide avec la terminaison 3'-hydroxyle souhaitée et laisse la partie phosphate du réactif fixée au support, qui est ensuite éliminé.
