title: Liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis: in search of small-molecule enzyme mimics.
abstract: The applications, advantages and recent advances in liquid-phase combinatorial chemistry using poly-(ethyleneglycol) as a soluble polymer support are reviewed. Our recent efforts towards the synthesis of peptide-based catalysts on polyethyleneglycol are reported. The screening of libraries of peptides for catalysis is discussed.
