Compound space

All musical composers work with the same set of notes, but the geniuses put the notes together in an extraordinarily beautiful way. Synthetic chemists all have available to them the same elements. The successful medicinal chemist will combine atoms such that amazing therapeutic effect is achieved with the resulting molecule. The computational chemist s goal should be to help the medicinal chemist by providing information about structural and electronic requirements to enhance activity, namely, information about which regions of compound space are most propitious for exploration. 

The compound [space group 7 3, a = 32.719 (1), c = 73.567 (2) A] is obtained by a ligand exchange (30 CHaCOO by 30 H2PO2 ) reaction. The IR spectrum is practically identical to that of compound A except for the appearance of H2PO2 bands [1118 (m), 1075 (w), 1033 (m) cm ] instead of CHsCOO bands. Also the Raman and electronic absorption spectra are almost identical to those of compound A. 

As combinatorial chemistry has been fully integrated into the modern drug discovery process, more computational search methodologies against large virtual combinatorial compound spaces have been steadily developed in recent years (11-16). A detailed summary and comparison of those published methods are reported in the Section 5 and in Table 13.6. A good review on this subject could also be found in the publication by Boehm and coworkers (16). 

As stated before, PGVL is too large to be fully enumerated practically. Therefore our strategy is to find a way to focus in a just-in-time manner on much smaller sub-regions ( 104) of PGVL for subsequent on-the-fly enumeration followed by standard similarity search against the same query molecule. It is intuitively evident that a virtual compound space built from parallel synthesis reaction protocols has inherent array structures in the form of implicit arrays of related just-in-time enumerated compounds, even if those compounds do not have their molecular structures yet enumerated at the time this inherent array structure is exploited.

It is known that sweet-tasting compounds are quite common and their chemical structures vary widely. In order to establish a structure-taste relationship, a large number of compounds have been tested, and several molecular theories of sweet taste have been proposed by different groups. At present, the phenomenon of sweet taste seems best explained by the tripartite functioning of the postulated AH, B (proton donor-acceptor) system and hydro-phobic site X (1, 2, J3, 4 5). Sweet-tasting compounds possess the AH-B-X system in the molecules, and the receptor site seems to be also a trifunctional unit similar to the AH-B-X system of the sweet compounds. Sweet taste results from interaction between the receptor site and the sweet unit of the compounds. Space-filling properties are also important as well as the charge and hydro-phobic properties. The hydrophile-hydrophobe balance in a molecule seems to be another important factor. 

Conventional airflow (also known as turbulent, or non-unidirectional airflow) incorporates HEPA filters, located in-duct, or as room terminal filtration modules (TPMs Fig. 5). Often confused with LAP, conventional airflow does not meet that definition because it allows multiple-pass circulating characteristics or a non-parallel airflow direction, or both. This type of airflow is incapable of producing first air, and is normally used as secondary or buffer filtration in treating a processing or compounding space that contains laminar airflow devices (LAFDs) to maintain primary critical work surface conditions, or in treating other...
