Effective techniques for applying Dynamic CombinatorialChemistry
In a relatively short period, Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry(DCC) has grown from proof-of-concept experiments in a few isolatedlabs to a broad conceptual framework with applications to anexceptional range of problems in molecular recognition, leadcompound identification, catalyst design, nanotechnology, polymerscience, and others. Bringing together a group of respectedexperts, this overview explains how chemists can apply DCC andfragment-based library methods to lead generation for drugdiscovery and molecular recognition in bioorganic chemistry andmaterials science.
Chapters cover:
* Basic theory
* Approaches to binding in proteins and nucleic acids
* Molecular recognition
* Self-sorting
* Catalyst discovery
* Materials discovery
* Analytical chemistry challenges
A comprehensive, single-source reference about DCC methods andapplications including aspects of fragment-based drug discovery,this is a core reference that will spark the development of newsolutions and strategies for chemists building structure librariesand designing compounds and materials.

"I was pleased that both offerings are worthy of high commendationand that I did not have to make the difficult decision ofrecommending one book over the other; both are worthy candidates tobe on library, faculty, and graduate student bookshelves." (Journalof the American Chemical Society, 15 April 2011)
"The scientific quality of the book is high, and the book can berecommended to novices and experienced researchers that want toexplore new terrain in organic synthesis." (ChemMedChem,2010)"This is an excellent and highly recommendedtextbook." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition,June 2010)"The book edited by Benjamin Miller ... open[s] new horizonsshowing the first steps from molecular to nanolevel functionalobjects. These steps are sometime too long and the researchstrategies should expand the fundamental understanding of complexdynamic structures and properties as it relates to creatingproducts and manufacturing processes.... Within this context, thisbook covers the most essential discoveries in DCC during the lastdecade. DCC employing evolutional approaches to produce chemicaldiversity is expressing a strong fundamental basis which certainlywill serve for the development of the next generation of DynamicConstitutional Systems.... The DCC general principles described inthis book and their further elaboration will be guidelines for suchfuture developments. Key questions concerning basic principles andrelated approaches that have been used in Dynamic combinatorialchemistry in order to control the evolution of dynamic systems areclearly presented by the selected topics of this book. The mostrevolutionary consequences may reflect the fascinatingpossibilities offered by selection, evolution, amplification andreplication processes."

"This book makes an outstanding reference book for molecularrecognition, physical organic, pharmaceutical, and supramolecularchemists. It has enough information for one to learn and startpracticing in the field, but is also sophisticated enough for theexpert to use learn the approaches of their colleagues. Dr. Millerhas done an excellent job of bringing the DCC field together in acohesive and educational fashion. I recommend the bookenthusiastically."
