Molecular Locks

Overview

Molecular Lock compounds are being developed as alternatives to:

• PCR and other hybridization-based methods for nucleic acid target detection
• small, interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for in vivo target suppression
• hormones and other activators for in vivo target activation
• small molecule antibiotics and antivirals for treatment of pathogen infections
• antibody mitigation of cell signaling molecules
• gene knock-out and knock-in technologies for cellular engineering
