Abstract:
A method of screening a target for ligand binding, the method comprising the steps of:a. providing a library of tags, each tag having a known tag address that is located by reference to a matrix;b. providing a library of ligands, each ligand having a known ligand address that is located by reference to a matrix;c. binding a tag having a known address to each ligand to create tagged ligands, wherein the ligand address corresponds to the tag address;d. incubating a target with at least two tagged ligands;e. determining whether or not at least one tagged ligand binds to a target; andf. identifying said at least one tagged ligand bound to the target by identifying the tag having a known address bound to said at least one tagged ligand, wherein the tag address indicates the corresponding ligand address.
