Appeal No. 1996-3434 Application No. 08/063,279 mixture of equimolar amounts of linear oligoalkyleneimine chain members containing the same number of about two to about ten alkyleneimine repeating units in each chain, each of said alkyleneimine repeating units having a length of two to about six carbon atoms and having a reduced amino acid side chain bonded to the carbon atom alpha to the nitrogen atom in which the carboxamide groups of said reduced amino acid side chains are replaced by aminomethyl groups, carboxyl groups of said reduced amino acid side chains are replaced by hydroxymethyl groups, and guanidino groups of said reduced amino acid side chains are replaced by amino groups, the members of said library having one or more of said repeating units containing a predetermined reduced amino acid side chain at the same one or more predetermined positions of the oligoalkyleneimine chain, and the library having equimolar amounts of repeating units that contain at least six different of said reduced amino acid side chains at one or more of these same other positions of the oligoalkyleneimine chain, a first terminus of each of said oligoalkyleneimines in the library having a hydrogen, benzyl or C1-C18 hydrocarbyl group bonded to an amino group, and the second terminus being a hydroxyl or methylamino group.
