ABSTRACT:
A method has been developed which utilizes functionalized optical fibers as a solid support for the assembly of combinatorial libraries of compounds. The optical fibers are used to direct light, heat or a combination thereof to the compounds tethered to the fibers surface. Utilizing the method of the instant invention reactions occurring by both photochemically and thermally allowed pathways are accessible. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the optical fibers are used to screen the array by fluorescence spectroscopy of labeled target molecules which bind to the immobilized library compounds.
