    This review describes the recent progress of combinatorial chemistry for drug discovery. Application of combinatorial chemistry is also described to functional studies of biologically active natural products including our studies of bacterial glycoconjugate lipid A. Lipid A analogs were synthesized via a new divergent synthetic route in order to clarify the biological importance of acyl groups. The number and chain length of the fatty acyl groups proved to have crucial influence on the biological activity. The present divergent route opens an efficient way toward the synthesis of lipid A libraries.

    In mass spectrometry, electrospray ionization (ESI) method made it possible to measure the molecular weight of biopolymer accurately by producing multiply charged ions of the target molecule from the solution phase. Moreover, due to the softness of this method, the molecular weight of aggregates formed by noncovalent interactions can be measured. This article explains the applicability of ESI method to measurement of the micelle weight and the method of analysis of observed results.
