Disclosed is a process for identifying compounds having a specified activity of interest, which process comprises (i) introducing interacting molecules into a host cell under conditions to generate or repress a detectable signal; and (ii) introducing a third compound or gene or genes encoding a third compound into the host cell from (i); and (iii) screening said host cell utilizing a method for detecting the inhibition or enhancement of interaction of proteins or other molecules in an in vivo or in vitro system. Another aspect of the present invention provides a process for identifying compounds of interest, which process comprises (i) generating one or more expression libraries derived from nucleic acid directly isolated from the environment; and (ii) screening said libraries utilizing a method for detecting the inhibition or enhancement of interaction of proteins or other molecules in an in vivo or in vitro system.
