From the 2002 Holiday Lectures — Scanning Life's Matrix: Genes, Proteins, and Small Molecules

Diversity-Oriented Synthesis

Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) is a strategy used by chemical biologists to create a huge diversity of small molecules with potentially useful properties. A scientist working in Dr. Stuart Schreiber's lab shows us how engineering, computer science, chemisty, and biology are all used in DOS.
