Embarking on a Chemical Space Odyssey
Embarking on a Chemical Space Odyssey is a scholarly work by Shiao Yun Chow, published in 2017 in ''Journal of Medicinal Chemistry''. The main subjects of the publication include nanotechnology, chemical space, throughput, drug discovery, microfluidics, workflow, space, combinatorial chemistry, biochemical engineering, peptide synthesis, chemistry, and drug design. The chemical space explored in drug discovery programs is restricted by a narrow reaction toolkit and the frequent failure of even these reactions with polar and functionalized substrates.
