Molecular Diversity

Molecular Diversity is a publication forum for the rapid publication of refereed papers dedicated to describing the development, application and theory of molecular diversity and combinatorial chemistry in basic and applied research and drug discovery. The journal publishes both short and full papers and reviews dealing with all aspects of the generation of molecular diversity, application of diversity for screening against alternative targets of all types (biological, biophysical, technological), analysis of results obtained and their application in various scientific disciplines/approaches including: combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis small molecule libraries microwave synthesis flow synthesis fluorous synthesis diversity oriented synthesis (DOS) nanoreactors click chemistry multiplex technologies fragment- and ligand-based design structure/function/SAR computational chemistry and molecular design chemoinformatics screening techniques and screening interfaces analytical and purification methods robotics, automation and miniaturization targeted libraries display libraries peptides and peptoids proteins oligonucleotides carbohydrates natural diversity new methods of library formulation and deconvolution directed evolution, origin of life and recombination search techniques, landscapes, random chemistry and more The journal will accept two types of manuscripts: (i) Full length papers giving a comprehensive description of original work. (ii) Short communications for rapid publication of novel observations.
