Abstract

Recent advances in high-throughput protein structure determination and in computational chemistry have refocused attention on virtual screening and fast automated docking methods. This review provides a brief introduction to the basic ideas and outlines computational tools currently used. We also provide several examples of where virtual screening has proved successful, highlighting the usefulness of the approach.
