Molecular Diversity

(ISSN 1573-501X)

Molecular Diversity is a publication forum for the rapid publication of refereed papers dedicated to describing the development, application and theory of molecular diversity and combinatorial chemistry in basic and applied research and drug discovery. The journal publishes both short and full papers and reviews dealing with all aspects of the generation of molecular diversity, application of diversity for screening against alternative targets of all types (biological, biophysical, technological), analysis of results obtained and their application in various scientific disciplines/approaches including:

combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis

small molecule libraries

microwave synthesis

flow synthesis

fluorous synthesis

diversity oriented synthesis (DOS)

nanoreactors

click chemistry

multiplex technologies

fragment- and ligand-based design

structure/function/SAR

computational chemistry and molecular design

chemoinformatics

screening techniques and screening interfaces

analytical and purification methods

robotics, automation and miniaturization

targeted libraries

display libraries

peptides and peptoids

proteins

oligonucleotides

carbohydrates

natural diversity

new methods of library formulation and deconvolution

directed evolution, origin of life and recombination

search techniques, landscapes, random chemistry and more

The journal will accept two types of manuscripts: (i) Full length papers giving a comprehensive description of original work. (ii) Short communications for rapid publication of novel observations.
