Abstract

Advancements in computational methods have significantly transformed the traditional drug discovery process, which has been historically lengthy and costly, often taking over a decade and billions of dollars. Virtual screening (VS) is a computational technique used in drug discovery to identify potential drug candidates by screening large chemical libraries. This technique has transformed drug discovery by enabling rapid and cost-effective screening of chemical libraries, reducing time and resources. This leverages algorithms, such as similarity-based, quantitative, and machine learning, to prioritize compounds binding to target proteins. Additionally, databases provide vast compound collections for screening. However, experimental validation is essential to ensure accuracy. In this chapter, the authors delve into the concepts and methodologies of this technique, focusing on its crucial role in drug discovery.
