DNA Encoded Libraries (DELs) are changing the way the pharmaceutical industry approaches compound discovery and Enko is among the first to bring the approach to the agriculture industry. By using DELs, we can screen 100’s of billions of compounds against each of our targets very cost effectively.
Using DELs to identify molecules that act on proteins of interest from target organisms and do not act on the equivalent proteins from non-target organisms (e.g., humans and beneficial organisms) yields an unprecedented number of effective and selective molecules which are high value starting points for developing safe and effective products.
