 Dynamic combinatorial chemistry

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the synthesis and analysis of libraries of compounds that can interconvert or undergo reversible transformations under equilibrium conditions. This approach enables the exploration of large chemical spaces and the identification of compounds with desirable properties, such as binding affinity or catalytic activity. Key features of dynamic combinatorial chemistry include: 1. **Reversible Reactions**: DCC involves reactions that can readily reverse, allowing a mixture of different compounds to exist in equilibrium.
