Virtual combinatorial libraries: Dynamic generation of molecular and supramolecular diversity by self-assembly

Open access
Huc, Ivan, Lehn, Jean-Marie·1997·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Molecular and supramolecular diversity may be generated, respectively, by reversible, covalent or noncovalent self-assembly of basic components whose various potential combinations in number and nature represent a virtual combinatorial library. This concept is applied to the induction of inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase (CA) by reversible recombination of aldehyde and amine components. It is found that the presence of CA favors the formation of those condensation compounds that may be expected to present the strongest binding to the CA active site. The virtual combinatorial library approach may represent a powerful methodology for the discovery of substrates, inhibitors, receptors, catalysts, and carriers for a variety of processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
