His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency of bonding substances to target molecules, which is crucial in various scientific applications.
Latest Patents
Marcus holds a patent for a "Method and device for investigating substance libraries." The aim of this invention is to investigate the bonding of substances to target molecules. This is achieved by means of a densely packed device wherein various target molecules are bonded in a large number of sample areas. The invention minimizes cross-contamination and evaporation while maximizing the active surface of the sample areas. The solution involves the use of carrier plates containing densely packed capillary structures, allowing for the bonding of 1000 times more molecules than on a flat outer surface of comparable size. The design prevents cross-contamination by eliminating cross-links between the capillaries and minimizes evaporation through a small outer surface. After silanizing the inner surface of the capillaries, peptides and peptidomimetics can be synthesized in a locally targeted manner. The molecular interactions of components of the substance library with active substances in a solution or suspension are investigated using a local resolution optical detection method. Handling, including cleaning and covering with substances, is simplified by rinsing liquids through the capillary plate.
