Subject: Software for Combinatorial Chemistry

Dear Netters,

is anybody aware of or has experience with software
for planning a combinatorial chemistry library? Many 
people in this field claim that the library should be
most diverse - however what diversity means isn't quite
clear. Software of that kind should be able to analyze
the similarity of the members of a planned library, e.g.
by generating a "virtual" library and analyzing the
molecular properties, e.g. shape or lipophilicity, of
the members of that library. 

Is anybode aware of an email list or newsgroup
devoted to combinatorial chemistry? There are 
computational aspects involved as just mentioned
but as well aspects of synthetic chemistry or automation
which should not be discussed here in this list.

I'll summarize the responses and distribute them to this
list.

regards, Herbert Koeppen
