Protein targets, which are even too costly for the 5000 subset, can be prescreened by virtual screening (VS) or a biochemical assay and the NMR assay restricted to an economical library size of 100-1000 hit compounds. Taken together, we believe that it pays off to screen experimentally as many fragments as economical for a target. This notion appears to have been adopted by other proponents in NMR screening, such as Abbott with an NMR library of approximately 10 000 compounds (Table 3.2). 

We have also looked at samples of these libraries for analysis with substructure reactivity filters alongside known TB drugs. We showed that they have a pattern similar to the very large antima-larial screening library hits, in the very high failure rates with the Abbott Alerts (Fig. 5) (27, 28), with 81-92% failing the Abbott filters (17), which may be related to mechanism of action. 

We summarize here the efforts to generate a virtual library of peptidomimetic pentameric inhibitors of the HIV PR, derived from ritonavir (Figure 4.1), developed by the Abbott Laboratories [18,19] using computer-assisted combinatorial chemistry methods [20]. 

In addition to extending the utility of analytical NMR, these developments have had a direct impact on screening methodologies, where NMR spectroscopy may now be used directly as a rapid and sensitive method for the characterization of binding affinities of mixtures of compounds in combinatorial libraries.3,9 11 A powerful screening method based on observation of NMR signals from a protein target has been developed by researchers at Abbott laboratories.12 Termed SAR (structure-activity relationship) by NMR, this technique has proved to be extremely valuable for the identification of novel lead compounds.

Comments from many conservation practitioners and students, users of the book and associated professional updating courses have made me think more deeply about some of the detail and observations. Many scientists who had never previously heard of conservation have freely shared their knowledge and data. These are acknowledged appropriately in the text. The American Institute of Conservation kindly asked me to help in the design and delivery of their Adhesives course. The resultant critical conversations with the other participants have been fed into this revision. Alan Phenix commented on the Solvents chapter. Amy Davidson commented on the Glossary. Steven Abbott and Charles Hansen provided access to Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice software. The preparation of the manuscript was made possible by generous access to the resources, particularly electronic, of the John Rylands University Library (Manchester University) and the British Library.
