AI Technical Summary
Current methods for synthesizing and purifying synthetic biopolymers, particularly oligonucleotides and polypeptides, face challenges in scalability, efficiency, and purity, especially for modified chemistries or unconventional backbones, with existing purification techniques like trityl-on methods showing limited selectivity and leading to incomplete removal of truncated sequences.
The use of modified trityl protecting groups with selectively-reactive linker moieties that allow for the capture and release of full-length biopolymers using complementary reactive linker moieties on a capture support, enabling purification in aqueous media without the need for costly organic solvents and reducing chemical waste.
This approach enhances yield, reduces costs, and increases purity of biopolymers, making it suitable for large-scale synthesis and reducing environmental impact, while maintaining high throughput and efficiency.
