Synthetic combinatorial libraries: Views on techniques and their application

  • Perspectives
  • Published:
Perspectives in Drug Discovery and Design

Summary

This paper reviews synthetic combinatorial libraries. Particular emphasis is placed on one-bead-one-compound libraries, although issues relating to all synthetic techniques are touched upon. The discussion is focused on questions relating to synthetic diversity, drug discovery assays and structure determination techniques.
