Combinatorial Peptide and Nonpeptide Libraries

Solid-phase synthesis of carbohydrates presents unique challenges to synthetic chemists and currently represents one of the hottest areas of research in bioorganic chemistry. Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries addresses the exciting expectation that solid-phase assembly of oligosaccharides will have a fundamental impact on the field of glycobiology. This publication details the methodologies currently investigated for the attachment of carbohydrates to beads, synthesis including coupling strategies, and removal of the product from beads. With chapters written by eminent contributing authors, the material explores different synthetic strategies, glycosylation protocols, the use of solid supports versus soluble polymeric supports, and «on-resin» analytical methods. Tremendous progress in the field has set the stage for Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries to provide a wealth of information on such topics as: Specific oligosaccharide structures used in signal transduction processes Preparation and screening of glycopeptide libraries Solid-phase carbohydrate synthesis

A unique, integrated look at solid-phase synthesis and advances in combinatorial chemistry and technologies The last decade has seen a rapid expansion in combinatorial technologies, a field where chemistry disciplines intersect with automation, statistics, and information science, as well as certain biological disciplines. Reflecting these multidisciplinary trends, this new work provides a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects of solid-phase synthesis (SPS), combinatorial chemistry, and related combinatorial technologies. It clearly demonstrates how SPS and combinatorial chemistry have extended their application from the pharmaceutical arena to new areas, including biotechnology, material sciences, catalysis, and agrochemical industries, and explores in detail strategies for planning, designing, preparing, and testing of combinatorial libraries in various disciplines. Designed to meet the needs of both experienced combinatorial chemists and newcomers to the field, Solid-Phase Synthesis and Combinatorial Technologies: Surveys the most recent developments in SPS and combinatorial chemistry Explains the entire process, from determining the need for a library to the details necessary for synthesis of the library Discusses choice of format, size, and the rationale behind the design of each synthetic step Surveys the analytical techniques and the purification methods used to characterize and purify combinatorial libraries Employs a large number of examples to illustrate important concepts Includes problems geared toward applying acquired knowledge and designing the steps to SPS/library synthesis Describes the quality control and activity screening of combinatorial libraries for various applications Features a detailed bibliography of more than 1,700 relevant sources

Quality measurement, control, and improvement in combinatorial chemistry Combinatorial chemistry has developed rapidly in the past decade, with great advances made by scientists working on analysis and purification of a large number of compounds and the analysis of polymer-bound compounds. However, formidable challenges lie ahead of today's researcher. For example, high-throughput analysis and purification technologies must be further developed to ensure combinatorial libraries are «purifiable,» and «drugable.» To this end, Analysis and Purification Methods in Combinatorial Chemistry describes various analytical techniques and systems for the development, validation, quality control, purification, and physicochemical testing of combinatorial libraries. A new volume in Wiley's Chemical Analysis series, this text has four parts covering: * Various approaches to monitoring reactions on solid support and optimizing reactions for library synthesis * High-throughput analytical methods used to analyze the quality of libraries * High-throughput purification techniques * Analytical methods applied in post-synthesis and post-purification stages Drawing from the contributions of respected experts in combinatorial chemistry, this comprehensive book provides coverage of applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) technologies, as well as other analytical techniques. This eminently useful volume is an essential addition to the library of students and researchers studying or working in analytical chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, biotechnology, biochemistry, or biophysics.

This volume is dedicated to the theme “Combinatorial Optimization – Theoretical Computer Science: Interfaces and Perspectives” and has two main objectives: the first is to show that bringing together operational research and theoretical computer science can yield useful results for a range of applications, while the second is to demonstrate the quality and range of research conducted by the LAMSADE in these areas.

The story of success goes on and on – with a new book on combinatorial chemistry, edited by Gunther Jung! Combinatorial chemistry is a proven time- and resource-saving synthetic method of outstanding importance for industrial processes. Compound libraries help to save time and money, especially in the search for new drugs, and therefore play a pivotal role in solving the problem of the worldwide increasing demand for new and more active drugs. Not only substances, which are of interest for pharmaceutical chemistry, but also materials, catalysts, and biomolecules such as DNA or oligosaccharides are readily available with high structural diversities. The broad scope of combinatorial sciences is reflected by this book, edited by Gunther Jung: The synthetic methods discussed range from solid-phase to solution-phase synthesis, from preparations of small molecules such as amines or alcohols to those of complex biomolecules. Feasible methods, efficient techniques, new trends in automation, and state-of-the-art fast instrumental analytical and screening methods are presented with many practical tips and tricks for everybody working in combinatorial chemistry. This is the book written by specialists for specialists and for everyone aspiring to become an insider! It is an indispensible source of information for researchers working in organic synthesis, catalysis, biochemistry, and biotechnology, pharmaceutical and clinical chemistry, material sciences, and analytical chemistry.

Instead of outsourcing tasks to providers using labor-intensive countries, libraries around the world increasingly appeal to the crowds of Internet users, making their relationship with users more collaborative . These internet users can be volunteers or paid, work consciously, unconsciously or in the form of games. They can provide the workforce, skills, knowledge or financial resources that libraries need in order to achieve unimaginable goals.

As we enter the new millennium, combinatorial chemistry is providing significant impetus to new innovations in synthetic chemistry. Combinatorial chemistry has rapidly become the rising star among research methods, allowing scientists to efficiently test the feasibility of a multitude of new compounds. The pursuit of new drugs is but one challenging field in which these combinatorial methods are particularly advantageous, helping researchers meet the modern-day demands of a highly competitive environment. This book emphasises that modern combinatorial synthesis is possible not only in the solid phase, but also in solutions. Moreover, it discusses computer-assisted methods as well as the apparatus and instrumentation required for the combinatorial method. Successful and experienced researchers in the leading pharmaceutical companies and most renowned research institutes offer a solid insight and perspective into this diverse field. A 'must' for every scientist in the area of pharmaceutical research
