The present invention relates to a method for identifying a member of a mass-coded molecular library which is a ligand for a biomolecule and binds to the biomolecule at the binding site of a known second ligand for the biomolecule, said mass-coded molecular library comprising compounds of the general formula XYn, wherein n is an. integer from 2 to about 6, X is a scaffold and each Y is, independently, a peripheral moiety, wherein said mass-coded molecular library is produced by reacting a scaffold precursor with a sufficient number of distinct peripheral moiety precursors such that there exist at least about 250 distinct combinations of n peripheral moieties derived from said peripheral moiety precursors.
