Significance of one-bead-one-compound combinational chemistry

One-bead-one-compound combinatorial peptidomimetic libraries, in conjunction with a high-stringency screening method, are a powerful tool for screening peptide and peptidomimetic ligands for target proteins. Picomolar-affinity peptidomimetics for the integrin α4β1 have now been developed and have been successfully used to image α4β1-expressing tumors in living mice.
