Anthropogenic evolvable genetic information systems (AEGIS) are DNA-like molecules that can be copied, support laboratory in vitro evolution (LIVE), and evolve to give AegisBodies, analogs of antibodies. However, unlike DNA aptamers built from four different nucleotides, AegisBodies are currently built from six different nucleotides. Thus, six-letter AEGIS-LIVE delivers AegisBodies with greater stability in biological mixtures, more folds, and enhanced binding and catalytic power.
