Abstract: Methods for the identification of compounds which modulate, either inhibit or stimulate, biomolecules are provided. Nucleic acids, especially RNAs are preferred substrates for such modulation. The present methods are particularly powerful in that they provide novel combinations of techniques which give rise to compounds, usually “small” organic compounds, which are highly potent modulators of RNA and other biomolecular activity. In accordance with preferred aspects of the invention, very large numbers of compounds may be tested essentially simultaneously to determine whether they are likely to interact with a molecular interaction site and modulate the activity of the biomolecule. Pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, agricultural chemicals, industrial chemicals, research chemicals and many other beneficial compounds may be identified in accordance with embodiments of this invention.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to analogs of aminoglycoside compounds of the class having a glycosylated 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) ring as well as their preparation and use as prophylactic or therapeutics against microbial infection. Compounds of the invention comprises at least one aryl, heteroaryl, substituted aryl or substituted heteroaryl group in place of a glycosyl group attached to the 2-deoxystreptamine ring.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the generation of virtual libraries of compounds. These compounds are generated in silico. The present invention encompasses methods for tracking the addition of fragments, use of reagents, and transformations performed. Further, methods for interfacing the information necessary to generate libraries of compounds with instrumentation that conducts the actual synthesis of the compounds are provided. Also provided are methods for the in silico docking of the library compounds to identified target molecules of interest.
