  Novel chemical diversity
Graffinity´s proprietary low molecular weight compound libraries for chemical
microarrays are based on small drug fragments. The design principles of these
collections allow insight into relevant structural features early in the discovery
process and provide the basis for rapid optimization procedures.

Lead structures for your targets
Graffinity uses its integrated discovery platform with unique fragment based libraries, together with the Rapid Array Informed Structure Evolution (RAISE) process, to take proteins from target to novel lead. The combination of fragment based compound libraries with Graffinitys low affinity screening technology establishes a new route to novelty. Our collaborators provide the protein(s), which we then test on our arrays to produce chemo-biological data, and provide lead structures according to predefined biological and/or chemical criteria.

Target prioritisation approach for discovery on a genomic scale
Graffinity can provide chemical annotation of any number of proteins. Working with many proteins in parallel per project the fingerprint data can be used to prioritize targets for further development in drug discovery and/or provide the basis of a lead development program. Due to the array technology this approach is very cost effective and fast.

Lead structures for orphan targets & Early integration of chemistry and biology
As proteins can be screened against chemical microarrays prior to their functional validation, the Graffinity approach delivers the earliest possible chemical information on the potential of small molecules as drug leads.
