Information for screening development
To assist in the development of screens and to aid in identifying promising chemical matter we have started a small collection of literature references that users and potential users should find useful as a point of reference. The topics covered include:鈥�

鈥婲ote that hits obtained from high throughput screens are a starting point and require rigorous follow up assessment including evaluation of resynthesized compound, validation in a distinct secondary assay, and assessing the quality of the hit to rule out, for example, promiscuous electrophilic compounds or redox active compounds known as PAINS. Also reasonable common are hits that inhibit enzyme activity through compounds aggregating to form microscopic colloids that inhibit or inactivate compounds. 鈥�
