COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY is a genuine practical guide covering all the major areas of combinatorial chemistry from an experimental and conceptual point of view. Being one of the most powerful of modern technologies, combinatorial chemistry has had implications to many areas of chemistry and biology and the current approaches to drug, catalyst, receptor, and materials development and discovery are all included in this volume. It also contains protocols on solid, liquid, and solution phase synthesis and expedient methods of library screening and evaluation. The use of automation and robotics is also explained. It is written at a level easily accessible to novices and will enable readers to use combinatorial techniques to the best advantage. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
