A Method to Generate Novel Bioactive Molecules
- Detailed Technology Description
- UC San Diego inventors have invented a very general method to design and create new compounds with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, or other bioactive properties. Different from the existing art, where the biological effect of a compound must be determined, this invention allows for compounds to be designed and created with these effects known a priori. For example, this shortcoming, which the current invention overcomes, is part of the existing art being applied to anti-bacterial synthesis—such as mutational biosynthesis, genetic engineering, structure-based drug design, or interrogation of novel natural products.Slide Show Presentation

Title: Method to Generate Novel Bioactive Molecules
Usefulness: Method to Generate Novel Bioactive Molecules
Summary: The methods are useful for identifying a bioactive compound in a culture; and for identifying a genomic mutation in an organism (all claimed).
Novelty: Identifying a bioactive compound in a culture comprises co-culturing two or more organisms, detecting inhibition of growth of the target organisms, and detecting the presence of one or more bioactive compounds in the co-culture
