Title: Molecular sleds and uses thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1531360

The present invention relates to compositions which may comprise a molecular sled linked to cargo and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a non-naturally occurring or engineered composition which may comprise a molecular sled, linkers and a molecular cargo connected to the sled via the linkers. Methods involving the use of molecular sleds and their cargoes and pharmaceutical compositions, methods for treating cancer, a degenerative disease, a genetic disease or an infectious disease as well as diagnostic methods are also contemplated by the present invention.
