36. In principle, the amplification may also be affected by the occurrence of repulsive or intermolecular interactions.
37. 13C HSQC spectroscopy can also be used to follow the kinetics of hydrazone exchange. This allows a full evaluation of both the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of a dynamic, multicomponent library and, in addition, eliminates any problem in peak assignment. This methodology will be published in due course.
38. The lowest concentrations are in the order of 0.25 mM. T he errors in the amplification factors are estimated to be around 15%.
39. [12] which might explain the slightly different amplification factors between the two methods of screening.
40. [12] maximum amplification is observed under very dilute conditions (0.2 mM), as under these conditions, competing intermolecular interactions are minimal. However, at such concentrations the exchange kinetics are very slow. Therefore, for practical reasons we decided to work at an intermediate 5 mM concentration of scaffold. From our previous studies, this implies a drop in amplification from the maximum value of 3.1 to the observed intermediate value of 1.8.

45. The pH refers to the value of the pure aqueous component, and was not corrected for the mixture.
46. obs versus pH changes dramatically for 3A. We ascribe this to the protonation of the tertiary amine in both 3A and 3B which, for both structures, results in a positive charge located very close to the carboxylic ester moiety. Consequently, at more acidic pH values the "catalytic" effect of the ammonium group in 3B is taken over by the protonated tertiairy amine.
