The present invention provides a variety of methods for reducing non-specific binding of a target molecule or plurality of target molecules to an array of oligonucleotides. The methods of the present invention include surface modification techniques and oligonucleotide modification techniques. According to one method of the present invention, non-specific binding of a target molecule to an array of oligonucleotides is reduced by replacing at least one of: i) the protecting groups on each of the plurality of oligonucleotides, and ii) the protecting groups on each of the protected regions of the substrate, with a negatively charged phosphate residue.
本发明提供了多种减少目标分子或多个目标分子与寡核苷酸阵列非特异性结合的方法。本发明的方法包括表面修饰技术和寡核苷酸修饰技术。根据本发明的一种方法,通过用带负电荷的
磷酸残基取代以下至少一种,可减少目标分子与寡核苷酸阵列的非特异性结合:i)多个寡核苷酸中每个寡核苷酸上的保护基团;ii)底物的每个保护区上的保护基团。
