COMPOUND LIBRARIES
COMPOUND LIBRARIES
Chemical libraries (or compound collections/sets) are one of the essential components for research areas of chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. Chemical libraries are collections of small organic compounds, usable in drug discovery and other industrial processes.
