Abstract

DNA-encoded chemical library (DECL) technology has emerged as a new avenue in the field of drug discovery. Combined with high-throughput sequencing, DECL selection experiments can provide not only many lead compounds but also insights into the structure-affinity relationship. However, the counts of individual DNA codes reflect, but cannot be used to precisely rank, the binding affinities of the corresponding compounds to protein targets. Herein, we describe a chip-based approach to realize an automated high-throughput assay for the kinetic characterization of the interaction between DNA-conjugated small organic compounds and protein targets. Importantly, this method can be applied to both single-pharmacophore DECLs and self-assembled dual-pharmacophore DECLs.
