A – Formula for calculating the enrichment factor (EF) at a given percent of the ranking. B – Results of validation set docking for particular combinations of software and structure presented as EF plots and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. TPR – true positive rate, FPR – false positive rate. A dashed line is the y = x line (performance of random classification). C – 2-phenylfuran scaffold as a core for Mpro inhibitors with the examples of known inhibitors and the predictions from the presented virtual screening
