The present invention relates to a method for synthesising templated molecules. In one aspect of the invention, the templated molecules are linked to the template which templated the synthesis thereof. The invention allows the generation of libraries which can be screened for e.g. therapeutic activity.

Provided herein are monoliths with attached recognition compounds which selectively bind ligands, methods of preparing such monoliths, arrays thereof and uses thereof. For example, monoliths provide herein can be used in columns and arrays thereof.

The present invention provides methods for creating an array of features on a surface based on content transferred from a plurality of beads to the surface. Nucleic acid content can be transferred using a method including the steps of (a) providing a surface having one or more primer oligonucleotides attached to the surface; (b) providing a pool of beads, wherein beads in the pool have a plurality of templates attached thereto, the plurality comprising multiple copies of a single nucleic acid template sequence; (c) arraying the beads onto the surface by hybridizing the templates to the primer oligonucleotides; and (d) extending the primers to produce copies of the templates attached to the surface.

Object of the present invention is to develop an artificial synthesis system of various peptides having an azole derivative structure and develop a library of such peptides. The present invention provides a method of producing a peptide having, in the backbone thereof, an azole derivative structure comprising the step of: synthesizing a substrate peptide of an azoline structure introducing enzyme having, in the modified region thereof, at least any one of the following amino acids,

##STR00001##

[in any of the compounds, X.sub.1 represents a group selected from the group consisting of SH, OH, NH.sub.2, SR.sup.1, OR.sup.1, NHR.sup.1, and N.sub.3 (R.sup.1 represents a protecting group), X.sub.2 represents an easily eliminable group; and X.sub.3 represents hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms]; reacting the substrate peptide with an azoline structure introducing enzyme to obtain a peptide having an azoline derivative structure; and converting the azoline derivative structure of the resulting peptide into an azole derivative structure by inducing an HX.sub.2 elimination reaction of X.sub.2 group.

The invention relates to a complex comprising a phage particle, said phage particle comprising (i) a polypeptide; (ii) a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of (i); (iii) a connector compound attached to said polypeptide wherein said connector compound is attached to the polypeptide by at least three discrete covalent bonds. The invention also relates to libraries, and to methods for making complexes and to methods of screening using same.

The invention provides methods for the synthesis of long oligonucleotides, genes and gene fragments. The methods include the manufacture of genes or gene fragments that can be then inserted into a variety of vectors.

Provided are compositions and methods of making a guide nucleic acids (gNAs), methods of using gNAs. and ligation free methods of preparing libraries of nucleic acids for downstream applications such as high-throughput sequencing.
