Abstract
Recent developments in combinatorial molecular design using virtual screening methods are summarised. These include similarity-based compound clustering techniques, structure-based docking and scoring, and fragment-based de novo design. Three major trends have been identified: i) the design of small targetfocused compound libraries yielding activity-enriched sets of molecules; ii) advanced prediction methods for “drug-like” molecular properties complement activity predictions in the library design process, forming a multi-dimensional objective function; iii) “cherry picking” of selected products is increasingly used in lead generation and optimisation compared to purely educt-driven library design methods aiming at maximising structural diversity.
Keywords: de novo design, drug-likeness, molecular docking, similarity, virtual screening

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
