Abstract
Libraries of compounds such as nucleic acids or peptides are contacted with a target molecule and libraries that have at least one compound that bind with at least a minimum activity are determined by a reiterative process in which a change in the rate of recovery (elimination) of compounds that bind to the target indicates that the library contains such a compound. The procedure may also be used to determine indirectly the sequence of such compound by employing sublibraries, each of which have a known entity at a known position of the compound.
