Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a mass-coded combinatorial library comprising a set of compounds having the general formula X(Y)n, where X is a scaffold, each Y is, independently, a peripheral moiety, and n is an integer greater than 1. The method comprises selecting a peripheral moiety precursor subset from a peripheral moiety precursor set. The subset includes a sufficient number of peripheral moiety precursors that at least about 50 distinct combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from the peripheral moiety precursors in the subset exist. The subset of peripheral moiety precursors is selected so that at least about 90% of all possible combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from the subset have a molecular mass sum which is distinct from the molecular mass sums of all of the other combinations of n peripheral moieties. The method further comprises contacting the peripheral moiety precursor subset with a scaffold precursor which has n reactive groups.
Abstract: A technique for automatically analyzing mass spectrographic data from mixtures of chemical compounds has a series of screens designed to eliminate or reduce incorrect peak identifications due to background noise, system resolution, system contamination, multiply charged ions and isotope substitutions. With such a technique, mass spectrograph data analysis may be greatly simplified by the identification of probable spurious signals, and analysis will become simpler and more accurate.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for forming combinatorial libraries. The invention provides methods suitable for the rapid and convenient synthesis of very large combinatorial libraries of small organic molecules. In particular, the invention provides a method for forming combinatorial libraries combining amide, sulfonamide, or urea bond formation with reductive amination.
