The invention describes a method for the identification of compounds which bind to a target component of a biochemical system or modulate the activity of the target, comprising the steps of: a) compartmentalising the compounds into microcapsules together with the target, such that only a subset of the repertoire is represented in multiple copies in any one microcapsule; and b) identifying the compound which binds to or modulates the activity of the target; wherein at least one step is performed under microfluidic control. The invention enables the screening of large repertoires of molecules which can serve as leads for drug development.

L'invention concerne une méthode d'identification de composés qui se lient à un composé cible d'un système biochimique ou modulent l'activité de la cible. Ladite méthode consiste à a) compartimenter les composés dans des microcapsules avec la cible, de telle manière que seul un sous-ensemble du répertoire est représenté dans plusieurs copies dans une des microcapsules, et b) identifier le composé qui se lie ou module l'activité de la cible, au moins une étape étant réalisée sous régulation microfluidique. Ladite invention a aussi pour objet le criblage de répertoires importants de molécules qui peuvent servir de fils au développement de médicaments.
