In a dynamic library, potential ligands to a target of interest are synthesized using a set of building blocks (here, NP fragments) and reversible reaction types allowing for continuous interchange. Upon addition of a molecular receptor (usually a protein), the best binders are selected and thereby removed from the equilibrated pool, forcing the dynamic system to respond by resynthesis of this type of small molecule until the equilibrium is reached again.78
