1. In many scientific fields, software-driven machines are at the root of data-driven revolutions. In this context, artificial intelligence is also likely to lead drug discovery process.
2. Multicomponent reaction (MCR) is a very efficient synthetic methodology for accessing drug-like scaffolds with great diversity.
3. Accurate knowledge of molecular structures is a prerequisite for rational drug design and structure-based functional studies, therefore, macromolecular X-ray crystallography plays an important role in target-based drug discovery.
4. Refolding of bacterial inclusion bodies is an attractive way to obtain biologically active proteins.
5. Unexpected results in experiment could lead to great discoveries.
6. Isocyanide is a good friend for the chemist, but not for the biology neighbors.
7. A journey of thousands of miles may not be achieved through accumulation of each single step, just as the enormous ocean may not be formed gathering every brook or stream. (不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江 海)
