Molecular Diversity Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Various aspects of synthetic diversity generation and screening are discussed. Controversial issues are raised and different points of view are presented. We hope the article will stimulate thinking about the utilization of library techniques and start a discussion about questions concerning their application.
