<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discover ligands using combined technique. <P>SOLUTION: There are provided new methods for ligand discovery. The inventive methods rely on a process termed "tethering" where potential ligands are covalently bonded or "tethered" to a target and subsequently identified. In one embodiment, the invention concerns a target-compound conjugate. In a particular embodiment, the target is selected from the group consisting of enzymes, receptors, transcription factors, ligands for receptors, growth factors, cytokines, immunoglobulins, nuclear proteins, signal transduction components, and allosteric enzyme regulators. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
