16 Questions
What is the main purpose of identifying the number of rotatable bonds in computer-designed libraries?
To achieve rigidity by determining the number of rotatable bonds
What is the impact of comparing the pharmacophores for both structures in the computer-designed libraries?
Retaining the first structure if it contains more than 10% new pharmacophores
What is the primary function of computer-designed libraries in combinatorial chemistry?
To eliminate structures that do not contribute significant new pharmacophores
What is the significance of identifying the pharmacophore triangles for each conformation in combinatorial chemistry?
To summarize the groups important in binding a lead compound to its target
How does the process of identifying all possible target structures impact efficiency in finding lead compounds?
Increases efficiency by retaining 90% of possible pharmacophores
What is the outcome of adding together both sets of pharmacophores and comparing with the next most rigid structure in computer-designed libraries?
Retaining the second structure if it contains more than 10% new pharmacophores
What is a major challenge in the detection, analysis, and purification of combinatorial libraries?
The requirement for nondestructive analysis
Why must the methods used for analysis be suitable for rapid, parallel analysis in the context of combinatorial libraries?
To avoid the rate-limiting step in the procedure
Which spectroscopic technique is used to identify conjugated systems?
Ultraviolet/Visible spectroscopy (UV/VIS)
What is a unique consideration for IR spectroscopy in combinatorial chemistry?
Flattened beads give stronger IR signals
Which spectroscopic technique provides more structural information than IR or UV spectroscopy?
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR)
Why are compounds normally cleaved from solid support before analysis by NMR?
To prevent broadened peaks and low resolution
What is a characteristic of magic angle spinning NMR?
It provides higher resolution than traditional NMR
What type of interaction does spectroscopy study?
Interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation (EMR)
Which technique can be used to identify the molecular weight and molecular formula of compounds?
Mass Spectrometry (MS)
What type of method is needed to enhance very small spectral signals from one or a few beads in IR spectroscopy?
Fourier transform IR (FTIR)
