Abstract

Virtual high-throughput screening (vHTS) is a powerful technique for identifying hit molecules as starting points for medicinal chemistry. Numerous successful applications of vHTS have been published using a large variety of methodologies. This review attempts to identify the essential factors for successful virtual screening in the hit identification phase.

Keywords: Virtual screening, high-throughput screening, docking, scoring, hit identification, similarity search
