DNA-ENCODED LIBRARIES

Expanding the effectiveness of screening

Nature Chemistry volume 13, pages 515–517 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

DNA-encoded libraries are a powerful tool to identify hit compounds for drug discovery. Now, two papers have reported new advances in this technology. One paper reports a method to screen for binders inside a living cell, and the other investigates the effects of stereo- and regiochemistry on ligand discovery.
