Catalytic Self-Screening of Cholinesterase Substrates from a Dynamic Combinatorial Thioester Library

• Simply the best: Dynamic combinatorial chemistry coupled to enzyme catalysis was used to identify enzyme substrates in a library constructed from a series of thioesters and thiols by transesterification. The library was directly coupled to the catalytic action of acetylcholinesterase, which selectively hydrolyzed the best substrate candidates (see schematic representation). The process allowed rapid identification of discrete substrates.
