Snap – easy, fast, and affordable – Seamless small molecule drug discovery – Get an early lead
Snap – Our easy, fast, and affordable DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) screening
service for biotinylated proteins.
Service in brief
- 1. You provide the biotinylated purified target protein (micrograms)
- 2. We conduct the screening, perform the analysis and provide a report, and chemical structure information for 25 top hits
Timelines
4 weeks
Keys
-
Screen requires small quantities of purified biotinylated target protein (micrograms) -
Screen is conducted using 4 screening slots (2 concentrations, 2 DELs) in parallel
-
Screen is conducted in a homogeneous assay to avoid matrix binders and target denaturation
-
Identifies hits and hit families
-
Chemical structure information for 25 top hits
-
High success rate (>75%)
-
Low false positive rates (100% match between DNA code and compound)
-
Applicable across disease areas and target classes (no structural information required)

Straightforward and transparent data analysis
Business Model
- Simple fee-based plan with no reach-through and royalty payments
- Hit exclusivity for top 25 hits
- The compensation plan comprises a total of 1 payment
- The project flow is rapid and straightforward:
- Client provides the biotinylated target protein (50 micrograms)
- Vipergen performs the screening using 4 screening slots (2 concentrations, 2
DELs) in parallel - Vipergen delivers a report, including metrics from screens and chemical
structure information for top 25 hits - Vipergen assigns its rights to top 25 hits and these becomes exclusive for
client - Vipergen permanently blocks top 25 hits from screening deck
DELs
Vipergen’s high fidelity DELs are synthesized using robust chemistry and with a purification
step after each chemical transformation, thus providing 100% correspondence between
code and compound (no truncates).
Key drivers for library design
- Chemical diversity
- Physicochemical properties
- Fidelity
- Hit resynthesis (off DNA)
