In the pre-print, check out how 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘒𝘡π˜ͺ𝘷𝘦 design can loosely mimic virtual screening of ultra-large make-on-demand libraries - docking only 15,000 molecules identified promising candidates in a 142 billion space (amounting to 0.00001%)!

Reaction constraints can be β€œmix-and-matched” - all molecules have a synthesis route and allowing to:

1. Enforce the presence of 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘀π˜ͺ𝘧π˜ͺ𝘀 reactions

2. Enforce 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 specific reactions are used

3. Avoid specific reactions

4. Minimize synthesis route length

(2) Synthesizability heuristics can be a noisy proxy for synthesizability but have out-of-distribution limitations

(3) This approach *generalizes* across molecule classes (drug and materials design)
