Abstract:The chemical space is vast, encompassing potentially billions of natural and synthetic molecules, which are for the most part uncharted with regard to their pharmaceutical, therapeutic, or toxicological potential. Determining the biological efficacy or harm of these chemicals presents both an enormous opportunity and a challenge to society. Chemical screening is the first step in development of novel therapeutical agents. The process typically involves searching chemical libraries for small organic molecules t… Show more
