Combinatorial chemistry involves the rapid synthesis and/or the computer simulation of a large number of different but structurally related molecules.
Although combinatorial chemistry has only really been taken up by industry since the 1990s, its roots can be seen as far back as the 1960s when a researcher at Rockefeller University, Bruce Merrifield, started investigating the solid-phase synthesis of peptides.
