Have you seen any discussion of the size and value of each of these companies libraries? I think my understanding here is very limited, don't these companies have many molecules which are proprietary...they just need to be screened over and over until a purpose is found...I think it is not that simple, and I have it backward. I sure need a little education on this one. I guess since I only briefly owned PCOP, I never got around do doing much to understand them. Ah, here we go...off the Aurora website: aurorabio.com aurorabio.com Even better, here is a description off the pcop website pcop.com Combinatorial chemistry is an approach to chemical synthesis that enables the creation of large numbers of organic compounds by putting chemical building blocks together in every possible combination. It is used to synthesize compounds which are screened, or tested, against biological targets as part of the drug discovery process. Brings the rainforest to mind when you start thinking about organic compounds... I guess I have limited my stock purchases to the companies which have lead candidates, and at the least are getting ready to go through the first clinical trials...have not so much been interested in the companies which, I think, work for them... very low on the food chain (?) --Mike
