Vipergen's YoctoReactor technology. (a) A highly stable three-dimensional
DNA complex (DNA junction) confines DNA-conjugate reagents within a volume on the order
of 10
−
24
liter (yoctoliter). By means of the proximity effect, DNA-directed reactions take place
at the center of the molecular reactor, delivering the corresponding building blocks on the initial
reaction site. (b) Synthesis of a three-way DNA-encoded chemical library. Individual building
blocks are linked via cleavable or noncleavable linkers to distinct hairpin-shaped DNA
