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 young scientist working in Dr. Stuart Schreiber's lab shows us how engineering, computer science, chemisty, and biology are all used in DOS. Also featured on the DVD Scanning Life's Matrix: Genes, Proteins, and Small Molecules, available free from HHMI
