Applying Natures Strategy in Discovering Functional Molecules

2 Applying Nature s Strategy in Discovering Functional Molecules 

However, one key issue has prevented Nature s approach being applied to small molecules the information coded in DNA or RNA base sequences cannot be directly translated into small molecule structures with Nature s machinery. New technologies and platforms need to be designed and implemented. The DNA-encoded library has emerged as one of the most intriguing approaches towards this goal.
