- Biotinylated (SEQ ID NO: 30) (well 1 to 9) or non-biotinylated (SEQ ID No: 29) (well 10 to 12) oligonucleotides 59-mer (well 10 to 12), radiolabelled in 5 ′, were circularized as described in the example 9, in the absence (wells 3 and 4) or in the presence (wells 5 to 12) of the plasmid pGA2. Streptavidin (200 nM) was then added to wells 2, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12.

- O denotes the migration position of the oligonucleotides alone.
- OS designates the migration position of the oligonucleotide-streptavidin complexes
- P designates the migration position of plasmin.
- Complexation of streptavidin slows the migration of the linear (well 2) or circular (well 4) oligonucleotide. The precipitation makes it possible to eliminate the oligonucleotides which are not linked to the plasmid (well 7). After digestion with Hind III, it can be observed that the circular biotinylated oligonucleotide is released from the plasmid, alone (well 8) or linked to streptavidin (well 9).
- the radiolabelled biotinylated oligonucleotide is added after precipitation of a complex formed with the non-biotinylated 59-mer in the presence of streptavidin, the migration of this oligonucleotide is not delayed (well 12), which demonstrates that the precipitation of the streptavidin is indeed due to its attachment to the biotinylated oligonucleotide attached to the plasmid.

- One end protrudes from the short double-stranded sequence by a single-stranded sequence (5).
- This end can form a double-strand with a complementary single-strand sequence (6) protruding from an oligonucleotide which has the form of a loop or hairpin (7).
- this double-strand results in the juxtaposition of the 5 'and 3' ends of the single-strand and loop oligonucleotides. These ends are then linked by a ligation agent to form a circular oligonucleotide locked with plasmid DNA or with a DNA fragment.
- the looped oligonucleotide can be chemically modified so as to carry, for example, a biotin molecule, or else an amino function which can be used to covalently link a peptide to this oligonucleotide.
