Abstract

Methods useful for the determination of oligomers which have specific activity for a transcription factor or other target molecule from a pool of primarily randomly assembled subunits are provided. The disclosed methods involve repeated syntheses of increasingly simplified sets of oligomers coupled with novel selection procedures for determining oligomers having the highest activity. Freedom from the use of enzymes allows the application of these methods to any molecules which can be oligomerized in a controlled fashion.
