Abstract

Significance: Many chemicals are valuable because they bind to other molecules. Chemical theory cannot directly design “binders.” However, we might recreate in the laboratory the Darwinian processes that nature uses to create binders. This in vitro evolution uses nucleic acids as binders, libraries of DNA/RNA to survive a selection challenge before they can have “children” (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, SELEX). Unfortunately, with only four nucleotides, natural DNA/RNA often yields only poor binders, perhaps because they are built from only four building blocks. Synthetic biology has increased the number of DNA/RNA building blocks, with tools to sequence, PCR amplify, and clone artificially expanded genetic information systems (AEGISs). We report here the first example of a SELEX using AEGIS, producing a molecule that binds to cancer cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
