Virtual Screening

Virtual screening is a computational approach used to search libraries of small molecules in order to identify hit and even lead compounds. Because of its significantly lower cost, shorter turnaround time, and particularly access to libraries with substantial larger size compared to the traditional High Throughput Screening (HTS), it has quickly become one of the major drug discovery technologies and been widely utilized in drug discovery field. Based on the unique novel drug-like building blocks, PharmaBlock build a virtually novel and diverse libraray and can provide rapid and high-quality virtual screening service that enables researchers to identify novel structures.
