Selection of DNA-encoded small molecule libraries against unmodified and non-immobilized protein targets

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2014 Sep 15;53(38):10056-9. doi: 10.1002/anie.201404830. Epub 2014 Jul 7.

Abstract

The selection of DNA-encoded libraries against biological targets has become an important discovery method in chemical biology and drug discovery, but the requirement of modified and immobilized targets remains a significant disadvantage. With a terminal protection strategy and ligand-induced photo-crosslinking, we show that iterated selections of DNA-encoded libraries can be realized with unmodified and non-immobilized protein targets.

Keywords: DNA; DNA-encoded library; DNA-templated chemistry; drug discovery; selection.
