Optical biosensors entered target-based small-molecule drug discovery more than two decades ago and have since transformed into a value-adding component in the decision-making process. Here, we briefly highlight the major application areas of optical biosensors and focus on desirable profiles of such platforms in order to ensure their effective use in small molecule drug discovery. Furthermore, we will emphasize current technology-based constraints and discuss experimental strategies to address these limitations as well as provide a view of necessary technology improvements for next generation platforms.
