About the NIH Molecular Libraries Roadmap Initiative
The NCC was developed as part of the NIH Molecular Libraries Roadmap Initiative. The Molecular Libraries Roadmap offers biomedical researchers access to the large-scale compound screening technology necessary to identify small molecules that can be optimized as chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways. The major elements of this program are
1) A network of high throughput screening centers (the MLSCN), with a screening library of small molecules planned to contain up to 500,000 compounds,
2) A public Cheminformatics database, PubChem, to disseminate the results of the MLSCN screens (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and
3) A series of technology development initiatives, including assay development funding programs. The NCC was established to provide compounds to investigators outside the MLSCN to further enable the use of compound screens in biomedical research. For more information about the Molecular Libraries Initiative or to sign up to receive announcements from the list serve, go to http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/molecularlibraries/.
