ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods for screening libraries of complexes for compounds having a desired property, especially, the capacity to agonize, bind to, or antagonize a cellular receptor. The complexes in such libraries comprise a compound under test, a tag recording at least one step in synthesis of the compound, and a tether susceptible to modification by a reporter molecule. Modification of the tether is used to signify that a complex contains a compound having a desired property. The tag can be decoded to reveal at least one step in the synthesis of such a compound.
