Novel chemical reaction expands options for building DNA-encoded libraries

Finding new drugs requires screening vast numbers of compounds to identify those that interact with a biological target.

Finding new drugs requires screening vast numbers of compounds to identify those that interact with a biological target. DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) help researchers explore these large collections by attaching a short DNA sequence to each molecule, acting as a molecular barcode that allows compounds with promising properties to be identified.
