US Patent:

58248030, Oct 20, 1998

Filed:

Sep 30, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/940736

Inventors:

David W. Conrad - Alexandria VA
Charles H. Patterson - Laurel MD

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

C07F23112
C07F29304
C07D23112

US Classification:

548109

Abstract:

A labeled compound detectable by IR spectroscopy contains at least one hidine residue bound to a cyanate or thiocyanate metal complex that has an IR absorption band within the spectral region of 2399-1900 cm. sup. -1. An assay reagent for simultaneously detecting or determining a plurality of different analytes in a sample is made up of a plurality of different labeled compounds, each being independently distinguishable from the others by absorbing energy in a different and distinguishable region in the range of 2300 to 1900 cm. sup. -1.

US Classification:

435184

Abstract:

A labeled compound detectable by IR spectroscopy contains at least one histidine residue bound to a cyanate or thiocyanate metal complex that has an IR absorption band within the spectral region of 2399-1900 cm. sup. -1. An assay reagent for simultaneously detecting or determining a plurality of different analytes in a sample is made up of a plurality of different labeled compounds, each being independently distinguishable from the others by absorbing energy in a different and distinguishable region in the range of 2300 to 1900 cm. sup. -1.

US Classification:

436527

Abstract:

O-nitrobenzyl analogs that include a photoremovable protecting group that resists the nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules and a linking group for attaching the o-nitrobenzyl analog to a substrate are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using o-nitrobenzyl analogs for creating patterned arrays of anti-ligands on a substrate so that a plurality of bioassays can be conducted simultaneously. In particular, the compounds disclosed are o-nitrobenzyl-polyethylene glycol-silanes, wherein the silane group serves to attach the compound to a substrate, the polyethylene glycol group resists the nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules. The o-nitrobenzyl group provides a photoactivatable functionality that allows the polyethylene glycol group to be selectively removed upon exposure to UV radiation and be replaced by an anti-ligand.
