Abstract

Methods and derivatized supports which are useful in solid-phase synthesis of peptides, oligonucleotides or other small organic molecules as well as arrays of ligands. The methods provide means to control the functional site density on a solid support. Some of the derivatized supports are polymer-coated or glycan-coated. Other methods for regenerating the surface of a used ligand array are also provided.

Claims

1. A method of preparing a polymer-coated support for use in solid-phase synthesis using in situ polymerization, comprising:

(a) preparing a mixture comprising monomers and a polymerization initiator to initiate polymerization of the monomers;

(b) contacting a support derivatized with a derivatizing agent having a substrate attaching group attached to the support and a reactive site distal to the support with said mixture to form a polymer linked to the support via the reactive site on the derivatizing agent.

2. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising the step of

(c) functionalizing said polymer-coated support to provide functional groups as synthesis initiation sites.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising curing said polymer on the substrate.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the support is glass.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the derivatizing agent is selected from the group consisting of aminoalkyltrialkoxysilanes, hdroxyalkyticholorosilanes, carboxyalkyltrialoxysilanes, polyethyleneglycols, and epoxyalkyltrialkoxysilanes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymer formed on the support has amine, carboxyl and/or hydroxyl functional groups.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneimine, polyethyleneglycol, polyvinyl alcohol, and carbohydrates.
