Abstract
The present invention provides a process for identifying compounds which bind to a specific target molecule. The process includes the steps of a) generating a first two-dimensional .sup.15 N/.sup.1 H NMR correlation spectrum of a .sup.15 N-labeled target molecule; b) exposing the labeled target molecule to one or a mixture of chemical compounds; c) generating a second two-dimensional .sup.15 N/.sup.1 H NMR correlation spectrum of the labeled target molecule that has been exposed to one or a mixture of compounds in step (b); and d) comparing said first and second two-dimensional .sup.15 N/.sup.1 H NMR correlation spectra to determine differences between said first and said second spectra, the differences identifying the presence of one or more compounds that are ligands which have bound to the target molecule.
