Target-based drug discovery: the emerging success of frontal affinity chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.
Frontal affinity chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (FAC-MS) has been reported as a potential method for screening compound mixtures against immobilized target proteins. The potentiality of this analytical approach is described and illustrated with a number of examples based on targets of pharmaceutical interest.
