Strong Points: Broad coverage of topic
Weak Points: A bit too techie for general interest
Summary:
When it comes to drug design, the technique of combinatorial chemistry is rapidly taking over the subject. Covering this important area is Combinatorial Chemistry Review, a site providing an overview of combinatorial synthesis with aims of providing insights to the field by describing major techniques and applications of them. Highlights of Combinatorial Chemistry Review (CCR) include a short description of the strategy of the technique, another description of resins used for solid-state synthesis, theoretical considerations for synthesis, an informative glossary, news/events, and a wide collection of useful links. The site could use a bit more of an educational focus for nontechies, but that is a relatively minor concern. CCR is an important site for anyone interested in the subject of combinatorial chemistry.
