Virtual high throughput screening or virtual screening is a computational technique used in drug design research. It involves the rapid assessment of large libraries of chemical structures in order to guide the selection of likely drug candidates. Advances in molecular modelling, combinatorial chemistry and molecular biology have radically changed the approach to drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry; virtual screening is a product of research in these areas.
New challenges in synthesis result in new analytical methods. At present, nearly one million molecules typically have to be tested within a short period and, therefore, highly effective screening methods are necessary for today's researchers.
Preparing and characterizing one compound after another belongs to the past
