In the hit to lead process, a drug candidate is selected from a set of potential leads by screening its binding with potential targets. This review focuses on the lead identification assays that employ a bio-chemical or bio- physical test to detect molecular recognition events between proteins and small molecules in a parallel format. These tests require either the lead or the target immobilization followed by incubation with the set of potential interaction partners and detection of a signal related to the target- ligand binding. In the first part of the review the different detection strategies amenable for drug screening are discussed. In the second part, a review of immobilization approaches for leads or targets, allowing the parallel screening of arrays of molecules, is presented.

Abstract
In the hit to lead process, a drug candidate is selected from a set of potential leads by screening its binding with potential targets. This review focuses on the lead identification assays that employ a bio-chemical or bio- physical test to detect molecular recognition events between proteins and small molecules in a parallel format. These tests require either the lead or the target immobilization followed by incubation with the set of potential interaction partners and detection of a signal related to the target- ligand binding. In the first part of the review the different detection strategies amenable for drug screening are discussed. In the second part, a review of immobilization approaches for leads or targets, allowing the parallel screening of arrays of molecules, is presented.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
