Abstract
Effector functions are provided to a desired target with improved specificity by use of two or more complementary targeting components. The targeting components assemble a functional moiety at the target. At the target, the functional moiety itself provides an effector function or binds to additional components which provide an effector function. The effector function may be an enzymatic activity, a label or a signal. The binary or polynary targeting system may be used for analyte determination as well.
