چکیده
Recent advances in high-throughput protein structure determination and in computational chemistry have refocused attention on virtual screening and fast automated docking methods. This review provides a brief introduction to the basic ideas and outlines computational tools currently used. We also provide several examples of where virtual screening has proved successful, highlighting the usefulness of the approach.

Molecular Docking Based on Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics and Atoms in Molecules Studies to Identify the Potential Human Epidermal Receptor 2 Intracellular Domain Inhibitors
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family having tyrosine kinase activity. Overexpression of HER2 usually causes malignant transformation of cells and is responsible for the breast cancer. In this work, the virtual screening, molecular docking, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics methods were employed to study protein–ligand ...

Computational screening of databases has become increasingly popular in the pharmaceutical research. Virtual screening uses computer based methods to discover new ligands on the basis of biological structures. Virtual screening is divided into structural based screening (docking) and screening using active compounds as templates (ligand based virtual screening). Ligand based screening technique...

Virtual screening (VS) overcomes the limitations of traditional high-throughput screening (HTS) by applying computer-based methods in drug discovery. VS takes advantage of fast algorithms to filter chemical space and successfully select potential drug candidates. A key aspect in structure-based VS is the sampling of ligand-receptor conformations and the evaluation of these poses to predict near...
متن کاملOptimization of High Throughput Virtual Screening by Combining Shape-Matching and Docking Methods
Receptor flexibility is a critical issue in structure-based virtual screening methods. Although a multiple-receptor conformation docking is an efficient way to account for receptor flexibility, it is still too slow for large molecular libraries. It was reported that a fast ligand-centric, shape-based virtual screening was more consistent for hit enrichment than a typical single-receptor conform...
