The invention generally relates to performing sandwich assays in droplets. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for detecting a target analyte that involve forming a compartmentalized portion of fluid including a portion of a sample suspected of containing a target analyte and a sample identifier, a first binding agent having a target identifier, and a second binding agent specific to the target analyte under conditions that produce a complex of the first and second binding agents with the target analyte, separating the complexes, and detecting the complexes, thereby detecting the target analyte.

Organic compounds for target identification, drug discovery, chemical library production, high-throughput screening, fluorophore conjugation, chemiluminescent compound conjugation, creation of proximity induced modulators (e.g., protein degraders)/chimeric molecules, or a combination thereof are described. The compounds can contain small molecule moieties for identification of their potential targets; an isocyanate, photoactivatable groups; chemical moieties for enrichment and detection of target-small molecule moiety interactions; proximity induced modulator element; fluorophores; chemiluminescent groups; or combinations thereof.

The present invention features a number of methods for identifying one or more compounds that bind to a biological target. The methods include synthesizing a library of compounds, wherein the compounds contain a functional moiety having one or more diversity positions. The functional moiety of the compounds is operatively linked to an initiator oligonucleotide that identifies the structure of the functional moiety.
