[0049] Where a group or moiety can be substituted, the term "substituted" refers to one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; in some embodiments, 1, 2, or 3; in other embodiments, 1 or 2) hydrogens on the group indicated with the phrase "substituted" can be replaced with a selection of the enumerated and indicated groups, or suitable substituents known to those of skill in the art (e.g., one or more of the groups listed below), provided that the normal valence of the designated atom is not exceeded. Substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, acyl, amino, amido, amidino, aryl, azido, carbamoyl, carboxyl, carboxyl ester, cyano, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, guanidino, halo, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, hydroxy, hydrazino, imino, oxo, nitro, phosphate, phosphonate, sulfonic acid, thiol, thione, or combinations thereof.

[0050] As used herein, in a chemical structure: [ka] The designation "-" represents the point at which one moiety is attached to another moiety (eg, a substituent to the remainder of a compound).

[0051] With respect to the compounds described herein, groups or substituents thereof may be selected for the permissible valences of atoms and substituents, e.g., such that the selection and substitution result in stable compounds, e.g., compounds that do not spontaneously undergo transformation by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, and the like.

[0052] Where substituents are specified by their conventional chemical formula written from left to right, this optionally includes the substituents resulting from writing the structure from right to left, e.g., -CHO- optionally also recites -OCH-, -OC(O)NH- optionally also recites -NHC(O)O-.

[0053] I. Compositions and Compounds Provided herein are compounds and compositions that can be used to rapidly isolate nucleic acids from a sample. The compounds and compositions include a morpholino moiety or a derivative thereof. At lower pH (e.g., less than about 8), the morpholino moiety is protonated and positively charged, and therefore can rapidly bind to negatively charged nucleic acids. Upon shifting to a higher pH (e.g., greater than or equal to about 8.5), the morpholino moiety is deprotonated, resulting in a form that rapidly releases nucleic acids into solution. The compositions of the present disclosure include a morpholino moiety or a derivative thereof (e.g., morpholine, thiomorpholine, thiomorpholine 1-oxide, thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide, or a salt thereof) that is attached to a solid surface via a linker. Although similar materials with other ligands, such as imidazole, methylpiperazine, and other primary and secondary amines, can also bind nucleic acids, compositions containing morpholine groups (or derivatives thereof) can rapidly release a large amount of nucleic acid (e.g., in some embodiments, at least 80% of the bound nucleic acid can be released in less than 5 minutes or less than 1 minute). This provides a significant advantage to the materials of the present disclosure. Moreover, nucleic acids can be released using elution solutions that do not require components (e.g., chaotropic agents) that can interfere with downstream applications, such as sequencing reactions. Thus, the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure can be used for rapid and efficient isolation of nucleic acids, resulting in solutions that can be used directly for downstream applications without further sample processing.

[0082] After the contacting step and optional washing step(s), the nucleic acid binding composition can be used for various applications. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid is released from the nucleic acid binding composition by contacting the nucleic acid binding composition with an elution solution having a pH of, for example, about 8.5 or higher, for example, a pH of about 8.5 to about 9.5, for example, about 8.5, about 8.6, about 8.7, about 8.8, about 8.9, about 9.0, about 9.1, about 9.2, about 9.3, about 9.4, about 9.4 or about 9.5, or any range therebetween. In some embodiments, the elution solution comprises a buffer, for example, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) or the like. The elution solution may contain other components, such as salts, provided that they are present at concentrations that do not interfere with downstream applications such as PCR. For example, in some embodiments, the elution solution contains salt (e.g., NaCl) at a concentration of less than about 25 nM.

[0083] A significant advantage of the disclosed composition is that it releases nucleic acids at a very fast rate upon shifting to a higher pH. Although other compositions have the ability to effect nucleic acid binding and release, similar to the compositions described herein, including compositions having moieties other than the moiety of formula (I), such as imidazole, methylpiperazine, amines (e.g., primary amines (-NH2) or substituted amines (e.g., -N(CH3)2 or -N(CH2CH2OH)2), the compositions disclosed herein are capable of liberating large amounts of nucleic acid in a very short time frame. In some embodiments, contacting the nucleic acid binding composition with an elution solution having a pH of about 8.5 or greater results in a nucleic acid-binding cleavage. and, whereby greater than 50% (e.g., greater than 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%) of the bound nucleic acid is removed in less than about 5 minutes (e.g., In some embodiments, by contacting the nucleic acid binding composition with an elution solution having a pH of about 8.5 or greater, greater than 75% (e.g., 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or greater than 99%) of the bound nucleic acid is released in less than about 5 minutes (e.g., less than about 5 minutes, less than about 4 minutes, less than about 3 minutes, The nucleic acid binding composition is eluted for less than about 2 minutes or less than about 1 minute. This significantly reduces the processing time required to isolate nucleic acid from the sample. Therefore, although the step of contacting the nucleic acid binding composition with the elution solution can be carried out for a longer period of time as appropriate or desired, in some embodiments, this step is carried out for less than about 5 minutes (e.g., less than about 5 minutes, less than about 4 minutes, less than about 3 minutes, less than about 2 minutes, or less than about 1 minute), because this period is sufficient to allow efficient release of the bound nucleic acid.In some embodiments, the step of contacting the nucleic acid binding composition with the elution solution occurs for a period of from about 10 seconds to about 10 minutes, or from about 1 minute to about 5 minutes.

[0084] In embodiments where an elution solution is used, the elution solution does not contain chaotropic agents (e.g., guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), organic solvents (e.g., alcohols, e.g., ethanol or methanol, or other organic solvents, e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide), or detergents (e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate). Even trace amounts of such components in a solution of target nucleic acid can significantly limit the usefulness of the nucleic acid in downstream processing or analysis. This is another major advantage of the compositions of the present disclosure - the nucleic acid can be rapidly released from the composition using aqueous buffers that do not contain components that would interfere with downstream applications.

[0085] If specific pH conditions are required in any of the steps of the method (e.g., the contacting step, the optional washing step, and the elution step), an acidifying or basifying agent can be used as necessary to adjust the pH of the sample or solution to the specified pH. Suitable acidifying agents include inorganic acids, such as HCl, HBr, HClO4, HClO3, H2SO4, H2SO3, H3PO4, or H3PO3; organic acids, such as 2-acetoxyoxybenzoic acid, acetic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, benzoic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, edetic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, glucoheptonic acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, glycolic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, hydroxynaphthalene acid, hydroxyphenyl ether ... Suitable basifying agents include, but are not limited to, carboxylic acids, isethionic acid, lactic acid, lactobionic acid, lauric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, mucic acid, oleic acid, oxalic acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, pantothenic acid, phenylacetic acid, phenylsulfonic acid, propionic acid, pyruvic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, sulfanilic acid, tartaric acid, tetrafluoroboric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, and valeric acid. Suitable basifying agents include, but are not limited to, inorganic bases, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, ammonia, diethanolamine, meglumine, lysine, arginine, ethanolamine, piperazine, trometamol, triethanolamine, and the like.

[0086] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid binding composition can be used directly in downstream applications without an elution step, for example, in some embodiments, the nucleic acid binding composition can be used directly in an on-bead polymerase chain reaction.

[0087] In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid may be used in any number of downstream applications, such as methods to analyze or further process the nucleic acid. For example, in some embodiments, the methods of the disclosure further comprise analyzing or processing the nucleic acid using, for example, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), quantitative PCR, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), real-time PCR, hot-start PCR, single-cell PCR, nested PCR, in situ colony PCR, digital PCR (dPCR), droplet digital™ PCR (ddPCR), emulsion PCR, ligase chain reaction (LCR), transcription-based amplification system (TAS), nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), strand displacement amplification (SDA), rolling circle amplification (RCA), hyper-branched RCA (HRCA), isothermal amplification, gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, fluorescence detection, ultraviolet spectroscopy, hybridization assays, DNA or RNA sequencing, reverse transcription, next generation sequencing (NGS), or the like.
