The National Institutes of Health has placed the heft of a large academic collaboration, on par in scale with the Human Genome Project, behind a task usually performed by pharmaceutical companies. When it launched its Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network this year, it embarked on an enormous needle-in-a-haystack challenge, says Scott Diamond, director of a new center established under the plan. In search of small molecules that selectively interact with specific biological targets, scientists in the initiative will screen hundreds of thousands of candidates in scores of high-throughput assays.
