DNA-Encoded Chemical Libraries: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology 2541)
Unlock the future of drug discovery with DNA‑Encoded Chemical Libraries: Methods and Protocols, Volume 2541 from the renowned Methods in Molecular Biology series—now available at Books Hub PK. This authoritative manual equips scientists, pharmaceutical researchers, and biotech professionals with the detailed laboratory protocols required to design, synthesize, screen, and optimize ultra-large, DNA-tagged small-molecule libraries using state-of-the-art DEL technology.
Emerging as a revolutionary tool in modern medicinal chemistry, DNA‑encoded chemical libraries (DELs) allow the creation and simultaneous screening of millions to billions of compounds in a single test tube, encoded with unique DNA barcodes. Through affinity-based selection and PCR/barcode sequencing, DELs facilitate rapid identification of high-affinity ligands—even against difficult targets.
