Virtual screening is a computational technique used in drug discovery and molecular biology to identify potential drug candidates or to evaluate the binding affinity of small molecules to target proteins. It involves the use of computer algorithms and simulations to analyze large libraries of compounds virtually, rather than physically screening each compound in the laboratory. The process typically involves the following key steps: 1. **Target Selection**: Identifying a biological target, such as a protein or enzyme, that is implicated in a disease or biological pathway.
