One computer screen listed, in various colors, the concentration levels of the compounds that would be mixed into the slurry.
He was looking for compounds that would mimic the effects of the banned drug ketamine, to which he was at one point addicted.
Eventually, Aurora identified several compounds that would either wedge open the rusty gate (potentiators) or repair the protein's ability to reach the cell membrane (correctors).
It takes a lot of sugar to activate a sweetness receptor, and Senomyx, a company in San Diego, believes it can find compounds that would reduce the amount needed.
In 1949, L. Wilson Greene, Edgewood's scientific director, typed up a classified report, "Psychochemical Warfare: A New Concept of War," that called for a search for compounds that would create the same debilitating mental side effects as nerve gas, but without the lethality.
Synthetic biology — a new field that combines biology, genetics, and engineering — seeks to create and alter organisms so that they can then produce drugs and make other compounds that would help us to move away from our dependence on petroleum products.

American chemist who, along with Jean-Marie Lehn and Donald J. Cram, was awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his synthesis of the crown ethers a group of organic compounds that would selectively react with other atoms and molecules much as do the molecules in living organisms.
Such exploration can be used to suggest likely compositions of new compounds that would have certain required properties.
Very often, the industry owns large collections of confidential compounds that would be ideal for the development of predictive models.
Next we used an in silico docking procedure to identify commercially available compounds that would display high affinity for the methyltransferase active site.
