Fragment-based drug discovery phase

In the future, the ideas that underpin DOS, such as maximal chemical space coverage and efficient complex structure generation, will remain. However, we may also see DOS being used in a more focused way, directed toward the synthesis of novel or unusual chemical structures and architectures, and used more in the field of fragment-based drug discovery. Whatever directions DOS takes in the future, it is likely that solid-phase synthesis will remain integral to the field.
