Searching for molecular solutions: empirical discovery and its future

This book compares empirical discovery methods for biologically relevant molecules with serendipitous discovery and rational design, and highlights the general approach to empirical discovery and it's advantanges/disadvantages. It provides a comprehensive and logical look at experimental methods for discovery of biologically relevant molecules, and includes sections on pragmatic molecular discovery, finding useful natural molecules, empirical methods, directed evolution, high-throughput synthesis and screening, rational molecular design, empirical versus rational design, and the limits of empirical methods.
