Abstract

Described is a support material that can simultaneously bind both genotypic and phenotypic substances. The respective areas, which can have surface-modifying matter such as anionic exchangers and/or affinity ligands, simultaneously bind, for example, nucleic acids and proteins or peptides. The support materials described can be used in processes for evolutive optimization of biopolymers, wherein genotype and phenotype can be bound at the same time so as to furnish them for further analysis.
