Here's a dated (5/11/98) description of the Diogenesis™ Process.....

dgibt.com

and from the corporate overview.....

DGI BioTechnologies L.L.C. is using its proprietary "Diogenesis™" process to accelerate drug discovery by providing an
universal in vitro assay system for rapid identification of orally-active small organic compounds. DGI's Diogenesis™
constitutes the first in vitro site-directed discovery platform that is geared to find small molecule regulators of protein:protein
interactions. It restricts the compound selection process to leads known to possess all of the attributes of an active
pharmaceutical compound: affinity, selectivity, and biological activity toward desired targets. Recognition of small molecules
exhibiting these key characteristics offers the industry a new route to orally active replacements for large protein hormones and
other active factors as well as significantly reduced time, effort, and costly repetitive assays to recognize true leads among
hundreds of thousands of candidate compounds.


Sounds like it would be a good fit with certain efforts at Ligand. Moreover, sounds like a set of tools that would integrate smoothly with a proteomics effort.
