  Method for preparing difurfurylideneacetone oligomer - Patent 4281114
This method for the production of difurfurylideneacetone oligomer is commercially realized; however, at the final stage the process of oligomerization of difurfurylideneacetone in the presence of an acid catalyst occurs but with a very high speed which hinders the possibility of determination of the degree of readiness of the oligomer.
The oligomer with the required properties has a life time of several minutes only (5-15 minutes), during which period it is impossible to determine its dropping point due to a long time required for the analysis.
This oligomer, when mixed with graphite in the manufacture of graphitized plastics, should be subjected to rolling for a period of 5 to 8 minutes.

 Oligomer Porphyrins - Their Potential as Molecular Wires
The oligomer porphyrin system, based on 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin in which the porphyrin rings are bridged by coplanar aromatic systems and the ends are capped with phenanthroline, is proposed to meet all the criteria for a molecular wire.
This oligomer porphyrin system has a fully conjugated *-electron conduction pathway which is surrounded by a sheath of bulky insulating lipophilic alkyl groups that will act to minimise random conduction, such as electrostatic interactions and electron tunnelling, and improve solubility.
An outline of the synthesis of the oligomer porphyrin systems from various building blocks is presented, along with general protocols for the synthesis of oligomer porphyrin systems of varying lengths.

 Patent 6,455,495
The negatively charged peptide oligomer, also referred to herein a peptide oligomer having negatively charged amino acids, has an affinity for the hydroxyapatite component of bone tissue and thereby binds to the bone tissue and brings the therapeutic agent with which it is conjugated into close contact with the bone tissue.
By varying the total negative charge of the peptide oligomers as well as the ratio of total negative charge to number of amino acid residues in the peptide oligomer, a wide range of binding affinities of the peptide oligomer for bone tissue is provided.
Conjugation of a negatively charged peptide oligomer to an imaging agent can be effected by well known procedures in the art, including having the negatively charged peptide oligomer complex a radionuclide directly, or by chemical conjugation of the negatively charged peptide oligomer with a coordination complex of a radionuclide and a chelating agent.

 Oligomer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, an oligomer consists of a finite number of monomer units ("oligo" is Greek for "a few"), in contrast to a polymer which, at least in principle, consists of an infinite number of monomers.
In biochemistry, the term oligomer is used for short, single stranded DNA fragments, generally used in hybridization experiments (bound to glass slides or nylon membranes).
It can also refer to a protein complex made of two or more subunits.

 Probable Quaternary Structures
Many proteins normally exist as oligomers, but the oligomer is often incomplete in the published PDB file.
In order for PQS to report a specific oligomer, that oligomer must occur in the crystal, or else the authors of the PDB file must specify the symmetry operations required to generate the oligomer (commonly done for virus capsids).
The specific oligomer may be a complete virus capsid, such as for poliovirus (2plv), or simian virus 40 (1sva).

 Peptide conjugated, inosine-substituted antisense oligomer compound and method patent invention
[0002] This invention relates to an antisense oligomer compound (i) conjugated to an arginine rich-peptide effective to enhance the uptake of the oligomer into cells, and (ii) in which strings of G bases are broken by one of more inosine bases, and methods of using such compound.
Although the basis of this problem is not understood, it appears to involve an interaction between the positively charged peptide and the oligomer compound in a way that promotes the formation of G-quartets in the oligomer, thus reducing the solubility and/or ability of the compound to bind to its target nucleic acid.
It would therefore be useful to enhance the cellular uptake of such antisense oligomer compounds, by conjugating the compound with an arginine-rich peptide, without degrading the antisense activity of the compound with respect to its intracellular target.

It is not clear, however, whether amyloids follow a progression from monomer to oligomer to plaque.
