COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY; LIBRARIES, e.g. CHEMICAL LIBRARIES (in silico combinatorial libraries of nucleic acids, proteins or peptides G16B35/00; in silico combinatorial chemistry G16C20/60)

Description

C40B covers synthetic methods and technologies for generating large collections of chemical compounds in a systematic manner, including libraries of small molecules, peptides, proteins, and other organic substances. This classification encompasses solid-phase synthesis techniques, split-and-mix strategies, parallel synthesis approaches, and automated synthesis platforms designed to rapidly produce diverse compound collections for screening purposes. It includes methods for library design, encoding schemes, and techniques for identifying active compounds from mixtures, typically applied in drug discovery and materials science. Adjacent classes C40A addresses combinatorial technology in general, while specific chemical synthesis methods are classified elsewhere in the C chemistry range depending on the compound type and reaction chemistry involved.
