Briefings

A new chemical reaction enables the creation of DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) by attaching a short DNA sequence to each molecule, serving as a molecular barcode to identify promising compounds during drug discovery.

Key points

• Researchers can now attach a short DNA sequence to each molecule in a library, acting as a molecular barcode to identify promising compounds.
• This method expands options for building DELs, which are essential for screening vast numbers of compounds to find drugs that interact with biological targets.

Context

Drug discovery 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.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to the description of the new chemical reaction and its mechanism. No specific dates, numbers, or experimental results are provided. The article does not state the outcome of the screening process or the number of successful compounds identified.
