Abstract:

Display methods development is currently extending the application of this strategy beyond the generation of ligand binding reagents for research, clinical, or biotechnological purposes to its use as a primary research tool. Peptide- and cDNA display methods have the potential to contribute to understanding the mechanisms of certain classes of drugs and to help map protein-protein interactions of physiological importance. Although the critical contribution of comprehensive amino acid sequence databases has been recognized, of equal importance might be structural genomics concepts in the application of display system technology to proteomics research. Lessons learned from the study of antibody-antigen interactions are reviewed here and applied to the field of display technology with the goal of delineating major factors involved in the successful mimicry of natural protein-ligand interactions.

• Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening publishes full length original research articles and reviews describing various topics in combinatorial chemistry (e.g. small molecules, peptide, nucleic acid or phage display libraries) and/or high throughput screening (e.g. developmental, practical or theoretical). Ancillary subjects of key importance, such as robotics and informatics, will also be covered by the journal. In these respective subject areas, Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening is intended to function as the most comprehensive and up-to-date medium available. The journal should be of value to individuals engaged in the process of drug discoveryand development, in the settings of industry, academia or government.
