US Patent 12129463 Methods and kits using nucleic acid encoding and/or label

Methods and Kits for analyzing macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, employing nucleic acid encoding are disclosed. The sample analysis kits employ nucleic acid encoding and/or nucleic acid recording of a molecular interaction and/or reaction, such as recognition events (e.g., between an antigen and an antibody, between a modified terminal amino acid residue, or between a small molecule or peptide therapeutic and a target, etc.). Assays that do not require the cyclic transfer of information between a coding tag and a recording tag are also disclosed, including single cycle assays.
