The design and construction of a stereo-defined DNA-encoded chemical library, featuring the four different 4-amino-proline stereoisomers as a central scaffold, has now enabled the discovery of potent ligands to proteins of pharmaceutical interest. Parallel screening with closely related isoforms (anti-targets) facilitated the isolation of hits with high selectivity ratios.
