RSS for High-throughput docking as a source of novel drug leads

Receptor-based virtual screening has become a viable source of novel leads in the pharmaceutical industry. The rapidly growing availability of structural information across protein families, the accessibility to increased computational power at affordable cost, as well as an improved understanding on how to effectively apply virtual screening technologies has contributed to their emergence. Nonetheless, continued improvement in the accuracy of scoring functions and a greater understanding of protein mobility is critical to advance the technology further.
