Creating protein capture reagents on a proteome-wide scale is a grand challenge in molecular medicine.[1] High quality reagents are critical for elucidating protein function, and developing diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Although antibodies remain the gold standard, their cumbersome production in animals is expensive, time consuming, and can fail for many targets.[2] Alternative technologies like single-chain antibodies and aptamers overcome some of these limitations, but still require many iterative rounds of selection and amplification to produce high quality binders.[3] Problems such as these have created a pressing need for next generation technologies that lend themselves as tools to explore the human proteome, but are more efficient and cost-effective to produce than existing reagents. Ideal protein capture reagents would be constructed with minimal effort from easy-toassemble building blocks that are readily available and inexpensive.[4] The most promising reagents would function in assays that already exist for antibodies.Bivalent reagents are attractive candidates for synthetic antibodies because the interactions they produce can be much stronger than their corresponding monovalent interactions.[5] This approach has been used to create many protein affinity reagents,[6] including a recent bivalent peptoid that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) in vitro and in cells.[7] Unfortunately, the discovery process used to create these reagents has been difficult to scale. Recently, we developed a new type of protein affinity reagent called a “DNA synbody” whose synthesis does not require in vitro selection or challenging synthetic chemistry.[8] Instead, DNA synbodies are produced by a process that we refer to as ligand interactions by nucleotide conjugates (LINC). LINC uses a short double-stranded DNA scaffold to determine the optimal separation distance and angular geometry needed to transform two ligands into a single high affinity protein capture reagent.[9]
