Abstract

This invention provides novel compositions and processes for analyte detection, quantification and amplification. Nucleic acid arrays and libraries of analytes are usefully incorporated into such compositions and processes. Universal detection elements, signaling entities and the like are employed to detect and if necessary or desirable, to quantify analytes. Amplification of target analytes are also provided by the compositions and processes of this invention.

Claims

1. A composition of matter that comprises an array of solid surfaces comprising a plurality of discrete areas,

wherein the plurality of discrete areas comprises a first discrete area and a second discrete area, said first discrete area and said second discrete area each comprising:

a chimeric composition consisting essentially of;

(i) a nucleic acid portion covalently attached to

(ii) a protein portion, wherein

said nucleic acid portion of the chimeric composition of said first discrete area has a different sequence from that of said nucleic acid portion of the chimeric composition of said second discrete area,

said protein portion of the chimeric composition of said first discrete area has a binding affinity for a first non-nucleic acid analyte of interest,

said protein portion of the chimeric composition of said second discrete area has a binding affinity for a second non-nucleic acid analyte,

said first non-nucleic acid analyte is different from said second non-nucleic acid analyte, and

said nucleic acid portion does not comprise sequences which are either identical or complementary to sequences that code for said protein,

wherein the nucleic acid portion of the chimeric composition of the first discrete area is hybridized to complementary sequences of nucleic acids fixed or immobilized to the first discrete area,

wherein the nucleic acid portion of the chimeric composition of the second discrete area is hybridized to complementary sequences of nucleic acids fixed or immobilized to the second discrete area, and

wherein said covalently attached protein portion of the chimeric composition of said first discrete area is different from said covalently attached protein portion of the chimeric composition of said second discrete area.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein said nucleic acid portion of the chimeric composition comprises DNA, DNA analogs, PNA, or combinations thereof.

3. The composition of claim 2, wherein said nucleic acid portion is modified on a sugar, phosphate or base moiety.

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein said solid surfaces are porous.

5. The composition of claim 4, wherein said porous solid surfaces comprise polyacrylamide or agarose.

6. The composition of claim 1, wherein said solid surfaces are non-porous.

7. The composition of claim 6, wherein said non-porous solid surfaces comprise glass or plastic.

8. The composition of claim 6, wherein said solid surfaces are transparent or translucent.

9. The composition of claim 1, wherein said solid surfaces are transparent or translucent.
