DNA-encoded chemical libraries
https://www.nature.com/articles/s43586-021-00084-5 Abstract DNA-encoded chemical library (DECL) technology is used by the pharmaceutical industry to discover small molecules capable of modulating biologically relevant targets. DECL synthesis starts with an oligonucleotide that contains a chemical linker moiety, and proceeds through iterative cycles of DNA barcode elongation and chemical synthesis. DECL selections require little protein, minimal assay development …Read More >
Introduction into Fragment Based Drug Discovery
Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) is a method used for finding hit compounds as one strategy of hit identification in the drug discovery process. Fragments are small molecules with a low molecular weight, smaller than lead molecules or druglike molecules. The FBDD technology is based on identifying small chemical fragments, which bind to the biological target …Read More >
