Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack a specific and effective means to interact with MCP-1, a chemokine involved in various diseases, necessitating the development of nucleic acids that can specifically bind to MCP-1 for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Innovation Solution

The use of nucleic acids with specific sequences, such as those described in SEQ.ID.No. 87 to 115, that can bind to MCP-1, including types 1A, 1B, 2, 3, and 4 nucleic acids, which form double-stranded structures capable of interacting with MCP-1, allowing for the development of medicaments and diagnostic agents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional methods are used to interact with MCP-1, then general chemokine research can be conducted, but specific and effective interaction with MCP-1 cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecificity of MCP-1 interactionVSAvoidapplicability to therapeutic and diagnostic uses
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying nucleic acid sequences to create specific binding configurations that recognize and bind to MCP-1 with high specificity. The invention identifies and utilizes specific nucleic acid sequence parameters (as shown in SEQ.ID.No. 87 to 115) that enable selective interaction with MCP-1, transforming general nucleic acid molecules into targeted binding agents for therapeutic and diagnostic applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If nucleic acids with specific sequences are designed to bind MCP-1, then specific interaction and therapeutic efficacy are improved, but complexity of nucleic acid design and characterization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding specificity to MCP-1VSAvoidcomplexity of nucleic acid sequence design
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the nucleic acid binding molecule into distinct functional regions or domains that can be independently characterized and optimized. The nucleic acid sequences are organized into specific structural elements (as evidenced by the classification into types 1A, 1B, 2, 3, and 4) that can be separately designed, synthesized, and tested, simplifying the overall design process while maintaining high binding specificity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically varies nucleic acid sequence parameters to optimize binding specificity. By changing specific nucleotide sequences and structural parameters, the invention creates a library of nucleic acid variants that can be screened for optimal MCP-1 binding, thereby managing design complexity through parameter optimization rather than random design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
