What Is Compound Library Synthesis?
The compound library is a collection of entities or information composed of small molecule compounds according to specific characteristics (such as structure or function, etc.). Compound libraries can be used for high-throughput screening to identify potential drug leads, as well as for chemical biology studies to investigate the effects of compounds on biological systems.
Compound library synthesis refers to the process of designing and synthesizing a collection of different organic compounds. Synthesizing compound libraries involves significant time, resources and expertise, but it is an essential aspect of modern drug discovery and chemical research.
