The interplay between structure-based design and combinatorial chemistry

Abstract

The two most lauded drug design approaches from the past century--structure-based design and combinatorial chemistry--are increasingly experiencing integration, whereby the three-dimensional coordinates of a receptor supports the development of combinatorial-based ligand design. A selective polling of the recent literature demonstrates that this can be actualized in many ways.
