The use of high-throughput screening for early stage drug discovery imposes several constraints on the format of assays for therapeutic targets of interest. Homogeneous cell-free assays based on energy transfer, fluorescence polarization spectroscopy or fluorescence correlation spectroscopy provide

β¦ Synopsis
To screen efficiently the millions of compounds that are synthesized using combinatorial and automated methods, dramatically improved assay technologies are currently needed. In 96-well microtiter plates, nonradioactive techniques (primarily fluorimetric) and cell-based functional methods have moved to the cutting edge, while clever assays that extract information from large bead-based combinatorial libraries have begun to show considerable promise. In the future, miniaturized assays that break out of the 96-well format will be enabled by innovative technologies for high-throughput screening.

## Abstract Snake venoms are recognized here as a grossly underβexplored resource in pharmacological prospecting. Discoveries in snake systematics demonstrate that former taxonomic bias in research has led to the neglect of thousands of species of potential medical use. Recent discoveries reveal an
Both isotopic and nonisotopic assay methodologies are employed in high-throughput screening for drug discovery. Recent advances in cell-based and in vitro biochemical assays will be reviewed, with special emphasis on detection technologies amenable to automated 'mix and read' procedures in high-thro
A variety of assay technologies continue to be developed for high-throughput screening. These include cell-based assays, surrogate systems using microbial cells such as yeast and bacterial two-hybrid and three-hybrid systems, and systems to measure nucleic acid-protein and receptor-ligand interactio
