Abstract

Virtual screening (VS) is a computational technique used in drug discovery to search libraries of small molecules in order to identify those structures which are most likely to bind to a drug target, typically a protein receptor or enzyme. I will use the computational resources to dock billions of compounds and do the scoring function of the same.
